Last week, Littlemummy.com thought up the idea to get everyone to swap blog posts. After nearly 80 other bloggers signed up, I got to swap with Claire from The Life of the 20 Something Mum. (I’m starting to realize how big parenting blogs are-wondering if I signed up to the wrong blogging community…never mind. We’re [...]

My best friend is coming to visit me from Baltimore tomorrow, and I am more excited than before Christmas morning! Before she arrives, I thought I would give you all a glimpse into the beginning of our friendship…
When Courtney and I met, we were six years old, waiting for the big yellow school bus to [...]

Blocking my face with the bus stop stand from the swift wind caused by the oncoming traffic and the winter weather, I almost missed the little boy standing with his arm outstretched in his tiny business suit. He approached the advancing bus with such ferver that I thought I would have to jump out to [...]

Parts of this article have been edited for the purpose of the editorial from my novel by yours truly. I figured that since red lips are all the rage right now, what better way than to take a bit of my story and put it into it.
Take a look, and let me know what you [...]

Enjoy your day whatever you’re doing!
In the meantime, enjoy my new Valentine’s Day article! Click on picture below.

The thing with consistently outlaying anything – be it this blog, a lady’s night, running, tweets, whatever – is that there will be times where it goes stronger than ever, and other times where it teeters on non-existent. I imagine marriage to be similar, but that’s another whole blog entry. Sometimes I will have ten [...]

So, since my last post on Heidi’s new face, I’ve grown up a little.
