The Duchy of Grand Fenwick Vs Chicago
A month from now, the "Windy City" will be air drying after the "Mouse that Roared" is gone. (sorry Chicago) BlogHer '09 will have blown through and the interwebs will be all "a-twitter" with tales of who did what to whom, how many cheeseburgers were eaten in a drunken stupor, who wore what, whose sponsors rocked, whose sponsor floppedZappos, Avelle (Bag Borrow or Steal) and a myriad of other popular online retailers have been inundated with orders for new shoes, handbags, accessories and more to be "shown" off at the event. Women have been wii-fit working out, shredding, dieting, reinventing, I'd ...
Daddy’s Girl
On Valentine's Day and every day I remember his influence, his spirit and his well, just manner of being. I can remember being tossed into the air, giggling all the way back into his arms, dancing on the tops of what I thought were his enormous feet, at the age of 5. Learning to ride a bike, his holding the seat and running behind me. The pride on his face at my honor society induction, thespian awards, and graduation. And later, his utter disappointment when I chose not to listen to his "sage" if not overbearing advice. I can still ...
5 Reasons I Am NOT Going To BlogHer
For purposes of full disclosure, I use the BlogHer Ads network. I don't always agree with the folks at BlogHer and don't blog there, though I do have an account. My reasons for not doing so are many, but I won't go into that here. This is about WHY I am NOT going to the BlogHer Conference this year. This is not a bash of the BlogHer people, conference or any person slightly affiliated with them. I know all the benefits of attending conferences. I've spoken at many. I've attended 4 times that number and spent untold dollars gaining information, networking ...
Happy Birthday Baby!
Memorial Day. I'll always have a special place in my heart for this day. The day we honor our fallen soldiers, our current service members, purchase a poppy and give thanks to God that we live in freedom. I have another reason to love Memorial Day and though it doesn't happen every year this way. My number 1 son, my hero, was born this day some 28 years ago. While there were days I didn't think I'd live through his raising and days I didn't think he'd live through it. We both survived and he's grown into the kind of ...
The Noticer Project
My friend, Andy Andrews, is an author. A story teller extraordinaire. His latest release The Noticer, has spawned a project and its one that I'm more than proud to say I'm associated with.

One of the BEST ways , he says, to use that gift, us by noticing those who have made an impact on our lives. The project is billed as A worldwide movement, to Notice the 5 most influential people in your ...
B.O. or What’s That Smell On Twitter?
With apologies to The Accidental Mommies. I'm takin it on. In reviewing the last week online I've been stopped in my tracks by a few things. First, was the interview I watched Sunday night, with Mike Huckabee and Kathy Ireland. Here's a woman who holds true to her beliefs. Who's a mom, an entrepreneur a published author and who's actually reaching out to other moms online to give and receive support and practicing what she preaches. If you haven't seen the interview, its in two parts and can be found on my blog here. You can follow Kathy on twitter @KathyIreland (she ...
50 Things On My Mind
My life has been a series of lessons learned. I guess most have. I've been memed to death on facebook, MySpace and more and have yet to fall prey to any of them. All of these have been on my mind a lot lately and because you're reading this you must be curious. What follows is my infamous list of 50 things on my mind. I am a child of God. A sister in Christ. Thoroughly committed to my faith. (And not afraid to show you) I am not a rock star mommy blogger and honestly if it takes imitating one to be ...
Faith, Fortitude and Reality
I've often doubted the reality of the "celibrity mom". Turns out, my doubts were misplaced, especially in this instance and especially with this woman! Kathy Ireland, you are REAL! This woman has to be one of the sweetest spirits I've ever encountered. Please watch the following videos where she gives us inspiration and hope and more! Especially important is what Kathy has to say about life, faith and fortitude. Without a doubt, THE MOST REFRESHINGLY HONEST interview I've seen in years! I couldn't have said it better myself! I'm in awe of her clarity and conviction! I'll leave you to form your own ...
