I know, I know. It’s been awhile since I’ve been around these parts and I’m back with a fun post to help my preggo Sis-in-Law. In an attempt to win some ultra cool baby swag for the mommy-to-be I direct your attention to Baby Gizmo who is giving away a magnificent Orbit Baby G2. This [...]

What?! Again? So soon? Yes, another contest plug here on the blog, but this one is for myself. Rebecca Peragine of Children Inspire Design is giving away one of her beautiful prints and if the universe is good to me I’ll be lucky enough to win one. She’s asking that we spread the word about [...]

I’ve often fantasized about the most appropriate way to disappear. No, I’m not having suicidal thoughts here.

Photo: Wedding Guest I’ve been summoned to be a bridesmaid in a handful of weddings and unfortunate as it is, I never had the opportunity to service my girlfriends past with such a marvelous duty. When my friend Chinyere politely asked me earlier this year [...]

There are times in life where I feel very much like I’m embracing the “kid at heart.” Today was one of them. I made what will probably be my last trip to the beach for the rest of 2010. Siesta Key (home to one of Florida’s best beaches) played host to the 1st Annual Siesta [...]

So… Saturday night. Let’s say I had a pretty awesome time celebrating my good friend’s final hooray as an unmarried woman. Disappointed that I had missed her bridal shower while in Ethiopia this year, I wanted to be sure to contribute in FUN to the highest degree possible. But get your head out the gutter. [...]

The home life seems to be back in full swing again. Things feel a bit back to normal (whatever that is) since returning from my around the world ways. I started the good old typical 9 to 5 type of job to hold me tight for while. You know, replenish the piggy bank and that [...]
