Origami Envelope Advent Calendars – Arrival of Christ(mas)
Every year, the kids and I get together and make Advent Calendars! The word Advent simply means coming or arrival.

Are you a Texas Blogger? Do you know a Texas Blogger?
If you are a Texas blogger, or you know a Texas blogger, this is a MUST READ for you!

We launched our website and forum right before Thanksgiving, and so far, we've had a fantastic response from bloggers all over the state of Texas! From the site: Blogging Texas was…

Invisa-RED Treatment is a great, non-invasive treatment that can help with weight loss. I had the privileged of interviewing Jared while I was in NYC with…
