A few weeks ago, I had the awesome opportunity to attend a Cooper Tire event in San Antonio.   I was particularly interested in this event for a couple of reasons; 1)I love auto stuff!! Tires, cars, everything. and 2) I know what a blowout can cause.   Ladies, don't skim this post. Read it, educate yourself, and know your tires! I think … [Read more...]

There is Something to Be Said About Mom 2.0

mom2summit

As a dinosaur in blog land, I've attended many conferences & events.  When you've been blogging for seven years, you've heard it all, been there/done that, and seen everything.  That's not entirely true but that was how it came to feel over the years.  So what did I do?  I quit going.  I focused on family and did my own thing, but there's … [Read more...]

magic_composing

A good while back, my family was offered a cruise.  We turned it down, regrettably.  My boys, at the time, couldn't grip the idea of being on a huge boat in the middle of the ocean. Over the last year or so, I think they wish they had gone.  I know I do.  Since my husband felt bad about us not going, he agreed to swoop me away to the romantic … [Read more...]

CarnivalMagic2-1024x607

Everyone I know that has been on a cruise, loves them.  LOVES THEM. Since I've never been on one, I don't know what to imagine but I do like to prepare. I'm a little OCD like that.   January 30th, 2013 will be our 20th anniversary and I plan on taking a cruise that week with my handsome cowboy.   We are looking at the Carnival Magic that will … [Read more...]

Upon our first day of arrival, we tour layout centers to see the new and hot items for Fall and 2013.  We provide … [Read more...]

They Do More Than Just Leave the Light On for You

I mentioned that GM gave us a loaner for our trip to Arlington to see Joyce Meyer but I haven't shared where we stayed yet (or even the Joyce Meyer stuff yet). The generous folks at Holiday Inn provided us with a lovely room for our stay.  I really liked the location because it was right next to an IHOP and easy access to the loop and a main … [Read more...]

A Look at the 2012 Chevy Traverse and the Women In It

2012 Chevy Traverse

GM was kind enough to allow me and my friends to drive a 2012 Chevy Traverse to the Joyce Meyer conference.  It was a 4 hour drive from Sweetwater to Arlington and one that caused me asthma issues due to constant laughing.  It was awesome.  The two ladies on the left rode with me, along with another gal.  I'm thinking the electraflying hair … [Read more...]

Will Smith Touched My Arm

I recently had the chance to attend the annual Walmart Shareholders Meeting 2011.  It's definitely not what most of you might think. It's actually fun, informative, and my favorite is getting to hear the stories of the associates.   Last year was absolutely inspiring and this year was super cool. First, I want to tell you that Walmart does … [Read more...]
