Get Your Groove On

I don’t really “do” product reviews. I’m just too opinionated and I feel that I’ll insult someone if I don’t give a good review. For the most part, people want to send things like sippy cups and diaper rash cream…and that stuff just has no place in my life. Been there, done that. I really,... »

Spell Check Doesn’t Help

I wanted to grow up to be a writer who was a mix between Erma Bombeck and Ernest Hemingway. Strange mix. Then again, I’m talking about myself here. I haven’t grown up yet. There is still hope. I am, however, a writer. I mostly like to write senseless crap here on my blog, but that... »
