I have touched on the fact that I suffer from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) in the past…and well, this Winter was no exception. In fact, this has probably been the worst Winter ever because of it. I’m not down to the point that I can’t function. I’m still going about my days and all, just {Read More}
So here we are in 2013. It was a glitzy and fun NYE for me, and when I woke up this morning I realized I had not yet made a list of resolutions for this year.

I once overheard my Mom tell a friend that her children were her one consistent true joy in life. At the time, I smiled and thought “Awww, mama loves me.” Now though, years later…I know exactly what she meant when she said that. I wait for afternoons and weekends to come with such anticipation…because I simply cannot wait to spend the days with my personal joy. This little boy just lights up my life so much, I tell you.

For a girl who grew up playing video games and absolutely loving arcades…I simply cannot tell you how excited I am to see this film! It looks so awesome! About Wreck-It Ralph: “Wreck-It Ralph” takes moviegoers on a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping journey in which Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly)—tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix, Jr. (voice of Jack McBrayer), the “good guy” star of their game—sets off on a quest to prove he’s got what it takes to be {Read More}
