Summer is officially here! The air is warm, the sun is beaming bright and the flowers have bloomed beautifully. It's time to put away those sneakers and boots and get those dry, cracked heels in tip-top shape to sport those cool flip flops and nice looking sandals. I don't know about you but I've seen my share of ugly dry cracked heels. I could not wear my sandals if my heels looked like that - no way! My husband wouldn't let me live the day either. He is the one to let me know if … [Read more...]

Makes me wish I could have just one … [Read more...]

If you're planning a getaway to the Big Apple and you have young children, this 36-page activity-filled, city-themed book is perfect. It also comes with a DVD so New York City comes alive right before … [Read more...]
