I think the big buzz these days is a life list. Or bucket list. Or simply a list of all the things you really want to do before you die. Wanna know what mine looks like? Jessica from Found the Marbles asked the VlogMom group this week: “Do you have a Life List? What three [...]

Blogging as a Working Mom

November 7, 2012

I’ve spent the last three years focused on my presence in social media and blogging. And frankly, I’ve loved almost every single minute of it. I never had a passion for anything professionally until I moved into this space. I fell in love with blogging, and writing, and the entire community. I also felt welcome [...]

What a Woman Needs to Know When Buying a Car

May 25, 2012

I can sum this up in one sentence. What a woman needs to know when buying a car is exactly the same as what a man needs to know. But there’s no getting around it. Women are treated differently when buying a car. And I have some recent examples supporting that. I mentioned a few weeks [...]

I actually attended with the same general naivete or oblivion that seems to have taken me this far in blogging. I sensed it might be a little touchy-feely for me, even though I’ve [...]

February 14, 2012

When you think of Valentine’s Day, do you think of cars? I don’t either unless my significant other is handing me keys to some cute little sporty convertible along with a free weekend pass to take off and ride like the wind.
