Take a Tour of Your Local Boys & Girls Club

One of the things about my childhood that I remember most fondly is always having something to do. Some years, it was ballet, tap and jazz dance classes. Other years, it was gymnastics or drama. As I got older, I turned to playing steel pan, cheerleading and choir and continued those until I graduated from high school. Given the abundance [...]

42 Movie: My View from the Red Carpet

This week, I went to Los Angeles for the first time ever, and I have to say, it would be difficult to beat this first impression. Why? Because I went there to attend the premiere of the new Jackie Robinson movie, 42, as a red carpet correspondent for Walmart! Walmart is a platinum sponsor of the movie, which means that [...]

Thrift Scores Linkup

March was an awesome month for thrifting for me. I tried a couple of stores I’d never shopped before instead of going to the same Goodwill week after week, and it paid off. Without further adieu, my finds: Vintage Morgan Miller blazer I fell in love with this double-breasted blazer the very second I saw it on the rack. The [...]

Duck Shelf Paper Makes for Stylish Storage

I have a paper problem. Honestly. Between mail and my daughter’s constant stream of schoolwork and letters from school, we just have nowhere to put it all. And while I SAY I’ll go through it often enough not to let it pile up. The truth is, it doesn’t work out that way. So we end up with piles and piles [...]

Lala-Oopsy: Mermaids and a Movie

My daughter is a bit of a doll fanatic. She genuinely enjoys dressing them up and playing make-believe — and she probably gets it from me. Playing with dolls is one of our favorite things to do together. Which means that she absolutely loves the Lala-Oopsy doll line. She practically begged for one for Christmas, and since she received that one, [...]

Are you Watching “The Bible”?

My family and I like to watch movies and shows based on the Bible. In part, we use it as an educational tool for our daughter, who seems to remember lessons when they are presented as entertainment.

DIY Rhinestone Easter Bunny T-Shirt (with tail!)

Easter is one among the holidays I really enjoy celebrating with my family. Aside from the religious significance of the day, I really enjoy doing a special craft project for my daughter.

Bissell DeepClean Premier Carpet Cleaner Review

The biggest bane of my existence as a renter is carpet. As in wall-to-wall carpet in nearly every room. We got lucky in this apartment because there is some hard floor in the entryway, kitchen and dining room, but everything else has carpet, including the living room.
