At this point, I’ve found that:

Towards the end of summer in sunny Colorado, my entire family wanted to get one last outdoor swim in. My husband and I swam and played with the kids in the large pool, enjoying a game of keep away.
As my son jumped wildly with excitement to catch the water filled sponge ball, which almost careened [...]

This is not the usual Not Me Monday, because it’s not something I did, but since I was involved, here it is…
I’ve told you of the Coobie. You know, the most comfortable bra in the universe, the one I won by complete chance while Tweeting. The one that I wrote up a review [...]

You Need A Coobie

I have a new friend.  Coobie.
Coobie is so good to me.  We’ve only become familiar with each other about three weeks ago.  A surprise really; happenstance of circumstance and we have found each other.  We fit.  Since we’re friends and Coobie has become so important to me, I thought I should introduce you…

Don’t stop reading.  [...]

Today’s post is a little different than usual; it’s a compilation of reading I wanted to pass along to you.

in Femininity, Share a Laugh

I dumped my purse.  I pulled a juvenile move and turned the thing, the monstrosity of a purse, smaller than I need, larger than I want, but still fashionable – upside down.  Curiosity got a hold of me.
This wasn’t supposed to be the topic of a Monday morning, but it is interesting what we stuff [...]
