I’ve been to NOLA more than a couple of handfuls of times. It’s the kind of city that lures my family toward it with good food, interesting architecture, a colored history, and music filling the air. New Orleans has so much more to offer than “stumbling around the streets with […]
Beauty and the Me
Oh! I just love Love LOVE makeup. It’s kinda my biggest vice. Make up: from skin care products to color, there’s not enough skin to slather stuff upon, or swipe the latest palettes across. So here I am thinking about what to review this month, and I realize, it was right […]
Your car and the interest rate. useful advice, save big.
I kept my last vehicle for 16 years. Although she was still running smooth, and looked pretty decent for being an “older but paid for vehicle” I decided to trade her in. I wanted newer safety features, bluetooth and well, that new car smell! I shopped around and like Cinderella, […]

A sea of blue in the hills of Texas
Springtime in Texas is so pretty. Fortunate for us, we home school, so taking time to actually stop and smell the flowers, is part of our science lesson plans. Our primary focus this year is to learn about the state we live in, visit places along our journey, and add […]
