“Comfortably change flight patterns mid-air…” I recently discovered this phrase about the symbolic meaning of dragonflies. Apparently they can represent humans who can do the above. I am not sure how “comfortable” it was, but I can certainly relate to the other part of this statement, changing my (life’s) flight pattern mid-air. A few…
Red Rose Teas {Review & Giveaway}
What do you like to drink? I do not really drink soda (or pop or Coke, as many call it) but I do like unsweetened iced tea a lot. That is usually my drink of choice in any restaurant (if not water) and I make it at home a quite a bit as well. I…
Blissdom ’13 & One 2 One Network
In January of 2011 I made a fairly “last minute” decision to venture to Nashville, Tennessee to attend Blissdom. I set off to only my second conference, at the time, to room with two other bloggers I barely knew and to see some of my other friends. As I rode the fairly empty bus from the airport…
A day early and a couple of milkshakes short…

We didn’t have to wait THAT long to see Santa Claus on Sunday. We got in line at 11:15 and Santa showed up around noon. While we waited for him to take his place at his “workshop” Tim took the kids to ride the carousel, they shared some cinnamon and sugar pretzel sticks from the…
