Girl Scout Cookies…There’s An App For That!

It’s Girl Scout Cookie time! I know this because lots of the little girls I know have been updating on their Mother’s Facebook Status letting me know that they were accepting pre-orders for their heavenly little treasures. Tonight we had our first door knocker peddling her yummy goodness. All this talk about cookies made me…

It just doesn’t seem like Christmas until Santa Clause makes his annual visit thanks to the local fire departments.  I get so excited when I hear the Christmas music and the Sirens of the fire trucks getting closer.  Santa makes his way around the Prairieville neighborhoods to visit the children.  He takes pictures with the…

Thinking of our Veterans Today

Today, I woke with a sense of gratitude. Gratitude for all of the Veteran’s that have sacrificed so much for me.  Without these men and women, I would not be able to sit here and enjoy the laughter of my children while they are getting ready for school, kiss my husband goodbye as he leaves…

Happy 234th Birthday Marine Corp!

Today, November 10, 2009, the Marine Corp turns 234.  Happy Birthday Marines! Thank you to all who have served for your tireless dedication in keeping our country safe.

Headed to Philly…Virtually!

Tomorrow is the start of REBar Camp Philly. [in a nut shell, Real Estate Bar Camp is a collection of the brightest Real Estate minds sharing their knowledge about technology, blogging, viral video, etc]  I woke up this morning and jumped on Twitter. All of my friends were chatting about their venture to Philly. I am…

Operation Mend

Watching the CBS Sunday Morning News, I was drawn to a story about a mission called Operation Mend.  The story was called “Healing The Most Deeply Scarred.”   So many of our servicemen and women are coming home with the most devastating of wounds.  Severe burns that leave grotesque scars and disfigurement. This program has partnered up…
