As I look back on 2011 I am amazed at how much my blog has grown. I have had amazing opportunities this year that I am still pinching myself asking if it really happened. Between several blog trips, a TV appearance, and some amazing product reviews this year has been the best blogging year that I have ever had.

The Relationship Between a Blogger and Her Delivery People
I get a lot of packages when I am reviewing products. A few years ago I bet FedEx, UPS, and USPS barely knew my name and address. Now I know they know where I live, and probably cringe knowing that if they have a large package that makes a lot of noise, my very large dog will go ballistic on them! I used to love it when the delivery people would drop off a package. When I was really … [Read more...]

We had the best holiday celebrations with TJ enjoying … [Read more...]
