    Scrolling Saturdays: Crazed

    *Note: Feel free to grab this little “Scrolling Saturdays” .jpg that I made! CrazedOriginally Posted: November 2, 2006 That’s how many of my family and friends would describe me (only in the most loving way, of course!). I am constantly on the run; even when I was a 100% of the time stay-at-home mom, I never stayed at home. Not because I didn’t want to be at home, of course, but things had to get done somehow! When the boys were younger, I knew it was the right thing to do, to ask them if they wanted to try a sport like soccer or baseball. (Although my younger sister played…

    Fall Festival…It Came, It Saw, It Kicked My Butt

    The salon has two very special, very huge events every year: our Cinco de Mayo Fiesta (which we’ve done every May 5 for four years) and our Fall Festival (which we did yesterday for the 2nd time).

The Fall Festival is more of an Open House to spotlight our new holiday retail, and we have a couple of vendors come, too. This year, we had a Jane Iredale cosmetics rep, a dermatologist, a Taste of Home Entertaining rep, a jewelry designer, and…

I have tried to come up with a clever name for this blog for a couple of months now. I didn’t want a name that would emphasize one…
