What I Learned When I Didn’t Have a Heart Attack

Every once in a while, we go through something that we just have to call a "learning experience." It's not fun. We wouldn't want to repeat it. But, we can decide to learn from it. So, disclaimer right up front: this post is not party related. Well, a little bit. I'll...

Let’s Connect! Are You on Pinterest (Or Anywhere Else)?

So full disclosure: I wanted to have a fun tutorial for you today. Got a cute manicure the other week that is ripe to be shown off in tutorial pics. But Baby B is feeling lousy, so I've been in "rubbing her back -- reading Amelia Bedelia -- getting her to eat some...
