A combination of several lifetimes rolled into one--I will spare you all of the details so here is a recap: I'm a wife, stepmom, daughter, sister, employee, business owner, certified paralegal, DJ, horseback rider, farm-hand and a dog lover. I always have something to say--sometimes thankfully, I just don't say it. I have advice for just about every situation. I like to look at the bright side of everything.

Mardi Gras: From Beads to Cakes, What You Need to Know

I love Mardi Gras season.  It used to signify the beginning of crawfish season but I have since discovered that I can get crawfish as early as November if I am willing to travel south.  I went to Mardi Gras in New Orleans a few years ago.  Twice actually.  It was a lot of fun.  One trip was what I call the "Parade Route" because the entire 4 days was spent going to parade after parade.

The Rules of Emailing

It seems that most of our communication these days is via email, text messaging, instant messaging and so on.  Think about it.  How many times do you pick up the phone compared to the number of messages you send through some sort of technology.

Ladies, do you want to climb to the top of the career ladder? A recent survey says that the best way to get ahead in a man's world is to act like a lady and to refrain from acting like one of the boys.

Bridesmen; Bridesmales; Men as Bridesmaids?

Stranger things have happened. Guys standing up as bridesmaids in weddings is happening more often than you would think.  Probably not so much in our area though.
