Freestyle Music: Forever in my Heart

Like many Freestyle music lovers, freestyle music is my heart and soul.  I grew up listening to KTU on the radio and buying cassette tapes so I can listen in the comfort of my apartment back in the 80's and early 90's. Ever since I could remember, I have loved all types of music, specifically any music I can dance my butt off to.  I loved Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Lionel Ritchie, Cyndi Lauper and even a little bit of Rock & Roll but the music that stays in my heart is definitely … [Read more...]

Win A $4,500 Dream Room For Your Child From Littlebirdie.com

As a mother of 3 children with ages ranging from 5 to 14, I'm always on a hunt to search for the latest deals.  My kids will tell you that I do not buy anything that does not have the four letter word on the tag and that is SALE.  I can't help it. I refuse to buy something that is regular price, even if it means waiting a few weeks until the item is on sale. I carry my coupon book filled with current coupons for the supermarket and stores at the mall.  There's even a spot for local deals so we … [Read more...]
