Why I still use my broken bluetooth headset?
Aww man. I just broke it and now I have to get a new one. I use it too much, when I am the gym working out, when I am on lunch and just want a break from surrounding noise Gosh doggit. Now what!! I broke one side of my bluetooth headset and need to replace it. The old one (old one’s link and name) did nothing wrong. It was perfect. I guess I was not careful with it and just tossed it one to many times on my desk and/or nightstand and as a result one side is not working. So what did we do? Looked on Amazon for…

Georgia Peach Fashion Week #GPFW Recap
Georgia Peach Fashion Week #GPFW Recap One of the hottest fashion weeks was held here in Atlanta in April 2016. This is the second year for the Georgia Peach Fashion Week #gpfw and each year it gets better and better. More designers and models, bigger venue, more press you could not beat it. Speaking of press, I was asked to be a part of media as God4bandme and I proudly as well as my husband/manager covered it to the best of our ability. We took lots and lots of pictures and were allowed to take behind the scenes footage (pictures and video below). The awesome opportunity to be backstage as…

Hale Fertility Journey Month 2
Waiting is the hardest part for me. Waiting to see what is on the other side of that door. Waiting to see if it is all going to be worth it sooner than later. I do not doubt so much if but it is when, but it has got to happen soon Father God. I do not know how much more we can take. Is this the month? Is this the month that I can finally say yes I am going to put in my leave of absence form to my manager?

Hello all. I am back with another Try Something New Tuesday (#tsnt) addition and today it is my pleasure to tell you about the Sunbutter brand. I was gifted with some samples and it is just in time.

Now most of the guidelines I have been sticking to for over 3 weeks now and it has been challenging, especially the no gluten and no sugar. Thank God for Sunbutter, because I have to have…

Gluten Free Salmon Cakes
This is an ole to my mommy. I want to thank her publicly for being such an awesome person. There have been many a day as a grown up that I am exhausted with coming up with new and different recipes, which she managed to do seemingly to me effortlessly. My mommy on occasion when my brother and I were younger would make mackerel croquettes and honestly I could not get past the bones in the mackerel so I never really wanted it, but today, I actually especially on fried fish, love to crunch on those bones and look for bone in fish at restaurants and when available I would…

The Life We Never Expected Book Review and Giveaway
Being in the field that I am (assisting those with disabilities/challenges to work), I am able to see all types of productive and loving individuals caring for their friends and loved ones when they come in the office. At this point, however I do not see a lot of the behind the scenes interaction of the guardians/parents with their special needs child or children. I get to see them once they are grown or almost grown and depending on the disability I can imagine what the caretakers had to go through, but only a glimpse of it. Andrew and Rachel Wilson share with us in The Life We Never Expected,…

Gimmee Jimmy’s Cookies Review
Gimmie Jimmy’s Cookies Review Arrival of some yummy goodness. Yes, I knew it was coming, but I did not know what was included in detail. The gist of this review was to help determine the freshness of the cookies and how long it would be before they were not so fresh. I enjoyed this review because I was able to savor the cookies for a longer period of time on purpose. Most times, I would not let them last beyond 4-5 days, but these lasted 8 days. At the 8th day, this is were they crumbled a lot and became a little harder. They arrived perfectly in a white 2lb…

Unashamed Book Review and Giveaway
Watching from the side, I saw her mouth move to form, “Oh my goodness, I am so sorry for saying that Mommy”. My friend had said something very nasty to her mom and her mom forgave her, but had she forgiven herself? Years later she still manages to tell me the story and began to ask her about how she is feeling about it, because it seemed to me that she was holding on to guilt and shame. This incident lingering on for years like that is truly a sign of it, but sometimes we just overlook it as being normal. Heather Davis Nelson, the wonderful author of Un-ASHAMED:…
