Last Post of The Year – Goodbye 2012, Hello 2013!

I know this blog has had many crickets these past few months. It's not my fault. I still love to blog.  But it's just that I'm one tired mommy who wants to come home after a hard day's work and just spend time with my family.  And the funny part is that I have about 20 titles ready for my little ol' blog so it's not like I don't have anything to say here -- I have LOTS to say.

My New Obsession: Zinio For iPad App

Lol I clicked on her link and there it was -- a full year … [Read more...]

Right? So I contacted Jacqui from Wacky Jacqui Designs and told her I was ready for another change (she designed my blog once before) and she was as usual, very helpful … [Read more...]

Tuesday Thirteen: 13 “More” Things About Me
