52 Weeks of Giving: Week 3

Each week throughout 2011 I will share how I am giving back somehow, whether it’s by offering my resources, my time, my talents or my support. Giving back doesn’t have to be on a grand scale. And doesn’t have to be about money. Oftentimes charities, organizations, causes and foundations need support beyond donations. And that’s [...]

A Charm-ed Bracelet

I have a treasure that is… well, a treasure to me. It’s a simple little silver charm bracelet with several silver charms.  It’s tarnished, but I never want it polished and new and shiny.  That would take away from its charm.  I don’t remember the first time I actually saw this bracelet or held this [...]

Common Courtesy

Another morning drop-off at preschool under my belt, and another morning of head scratching behind me, one more drop-off and two more pick-ups to go and I’m already wishing it was Friday.  I’m not an old curmudgeon, I swear, but the parking lots at the boys’ school drive me insane.  Not so much the lots, [...]

This post brought to you by TABASCO® Original Red. All opinions are 100% mine.
