Whoa-wee I have been super busy, which results in super tiredness. Mr. Maven and I have been taking some classes and we have family visiting. Then I started Facebook-ing. *Sorry, I am late to that party* I reconnected with some friends that I had not heard from in years (some years in the double digits.) […] Read more…

Stuff New Moms Need
There are plenty of new moms in my family. They are all are excited about the babies, most of them are new moms and one has multiple children. One’s life changes as soon as the baby is home. I would think the hardest thing about being a new mom is getting enough sleep, which can […] Read more…
Happy Independence Day
I have noticed over the past few years that Americans do not say “Happy Independence Day,” but “Happy Fourth of July.” On this day, we are celebrating liberty and independence from the British.

O Canada
I love Canada and the national anthem. The Canadian national anthem seems easy on the vocal cords. My favorite line is, “We stand on guard for thee.” When I was younger, I thought people were singing, “we stand on God for thee.” I was always trying to figure out what that meant, thinking why do […] Read more…
I Love Cherry Culture and Dollar Store Hauls
My home girl, Yummy411 , aka President of “The Pretty Committee”, called me out for being a Cherry Culture fanatic. 🙂 I want to blame her because she exposed me to Specktra, where I learned about Cherry Culture.

I Love Maroon 5
