For those of us who are working through some type of mealtime, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner, do you bring your own from home, or pick something up at work or nearby? I try very hard to remember to bring my lunch with me to school. However, on the days I forget, I have to be honest, it is...

Halloween is my favorite holiday, and one of the things that I love so much is that October is usually chock full of scary (and movies that are supposed to be scary) movies. However, so far, I haven't seen any! I realize it's still early, but I'm ready for some Halloween shows to get going...

We were invited to a party at 11:30 am on Saturday morning. Although it was for friendship, it was also a celebration for a 3 year olds BirthdaY. It took me about an hour after the invitation for me to realize that I had to come up with a present for a 3 year old and the fact that I had...
