I posted about the new Duran Duran tour and album a few days ago. It got me reminiscing about the 80s. I had a Duran Duran t-shirt at one time. My last DD t-shirt was purchased in the 80s and…

Making the Most of Your #BlogHer Experience
“BlogHer is what you make of it.” A wise friend described BlogHer this way. I knew what she meant. I pondered how I would tackle BlogHer last year. I wanted to get the most out of a new-to-me experience. I…

Cooking with the Stars
I’ll say at the outset that a good cook I am not. In fact my children know that I am quite capable of cooking Cajun food and not in a good way. We never need to check the batteries in…
