Sweet And Savory Superstars

I am a snacker. An ideal meal for me is a tapas style one where I have many things to choose from.

I know that finding healthy snacks (that aren’t processed, pre-packaged or pre-portioned) is  a difficult task for so many of us that I came up with my “Sweet and […]

Sounds of Saturday: Barry Manilow: Yes, Barry Manilow

I’m here in Vegas and I decided to feature former lounge singer, Barry Manilow. I love Barry and I don’t care who knows it. I’ve seen him in concert (it was one of the few times in recent memory when I wasn’t one of the oldest people at a […]

Maybe Vegas Baby, Maybe Not.

I think my family might be the reason travel insurance was invented.  Wild Boy has only been alive a few years but he’s managed to put a monkey wrench in just about every […]

2012 is coming to an end and it’s a bit hard to believe.  My 2012 Year In Pictures post yesterday was fun to put together.  It showed me just how many changes my family and I have been through this year and how wonderful things have turned out.

This year I’ve realized just how easy it is to take health and happiness for granted.  I really am thankful to be healthy (I’m trying to overlook the cold I have and the fact that I reinjured my back by sneezing yesterday).  Although I have depressive tendencies, I have a lot to be happy about as well: I have not one but 2 different roofs over my head, and I have people (and a pup) that I love and that love me in my life.

I’m thrilled that this is the post to end my 31 Days of Blogging Project.  This project has taught me quite a bit about blogging (it is a lot of work!) and has strengthened my commitment to continue my own contribution to my piece of the social media world. […]

Want A Sneak Peek at the 2013 Rose Parade Floats?

31 Days Project, Pasadena, Rose ParadeI now live close to the City of Roses in California and luckily one of my newest local friends, Mr. Pasadenatold me about a wonderful charity event benefiting the Pasadena Police Activities League where you could get an advance sneak preview of the 2013 Rose Parade Floats this week.

While I’ll admit that I’ve never been a big parade fan, this seemed like a unique opportunity and a way to become part of my new community.

Jay, Wild Boy and I got to see 20 of the floats scheduled to be in the parade including the lead float based on the Dr. Seuss book “Oh The Places You’ll Go” (which is appropriate for our family in 2012).

I learned quite a bit during my tour:  I had no idea that float making basically takes all year long and that the Rose Parade is seen in over 200 international territories and countries around the world. […]
