I recently discovered through my good friend, Mariana, that publishers have programs for bloggers. I love this idea. I quickly signed up with Thomas Nelson. My first book for review was a good one: She Still Calls Me Daddy: Building a New Relationship with…

Gather.com: A Review
I joined Gather.com some time ago. I find this site very helpful. I was able to: – Meet people who share my interests — Mom to a kid, a preteen, and a teen. – Connect around life experiences – Talk about the news…
Practical Jokes and Pranks
To the best of my knowledge I have never done an April Fool’s Day prank. My kids have. We have had the “every sock in the drawer is mismatched” and the “piece of plastic over the end of the toothpaste tube.”…
Del Monte Fruit Chillers: Review
On a hot summer day, nothing hits the spot more than something cold and refreshing. I find ice pops to be too sugary and sickly for the most part. You know the ones I mean…the ones with 50 pops that…
