This might be the funniest, sweetest baby video I’ve seen in a long time!! Daddies are SEXY!!! Well, the rest of this post has disappeared! Poof! All gone. I’m Refreshing My Blog (and Bust Ghosts) Updating old blog content is a bit like digital archaeology: you head in to dust the archives and end up unearthing questionable life choices from years ago. Between the over-filtered photos and advice that’s aged like room-temperature milk, the past can be… loud. The Ghost in the Machine: Lately, I’ve been dealing with a resident spirit: The Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine. This digital poltergeist has been causing chaos behind the scenes: The 2026 Refresh Plan: I’m giving my archives a facelift to keep my blog traffic climbing and my readers happy. Here’s my step-by-step exorcism: Stick Around Please Don’t let this be a “one and done” visit. While I’m cleaning house, check out these (very much alive) links: Earn Cash: Some things never go out of style. Rakuten still pays you to shop, and in this economy, why wouldn’t you take the free money? Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Check out the sidebar for my current giveaway—I promise this one is actually alive and…

PLEASE!! DON’T MAKE me give this car back!??!?!  First, look at those lines!! Isn’t this Kia a sporty little ride?!?!?               Seriously, I thought the Kia Forte I drove last month had perks! The Sorento has PERKS ON TOP of Forte PERKS!! Stick around this week for tons of pictures! (Of course) And details about all the perks!

How often do you think about pencils?  Me? Never! Except back to school time. The year after the baby moved out of the house, I went to Walmart for a regular shopping trip. I saw the back to school aisle and started the ‘ugly cry’ horrible gut wrenching SOBS!! It was embarrassing! I was crying so hard I had to leave!! Stupid empty nest!! So now 15 years…. (WAIT WHAT?!?!?! 15 YEARS!!??) later, when I am shopping and I spot the Back to School aisles it makes me laugh. Now, I still stock up on school supplies but for my Grandkids! According to 5 year old Emma, this NaNa has the BEST pencils that she has ever used in her LIFE!! She’s in kindergarten so she would know!! TreeSmart has the coolest pencils!!  This Oregon based company makes pencils with old NEWSPAPERS!!!! Seriously?!?!? Emma wrote her thank you cards out and used each and every color. The colors are perfect.The pencils write smoothly and sharpen just like any other pencil. You seriously would never know they were made from newspapers! Besides they look COOL!!! Watch this video.

It’s so sad that we have to be so paranoid now days in every part of our lives!! We have to be vigilant with everything!!  You have to almost be paranoid nowadays. In every aspect of your life!! Where I grew up in Colorado we didn’t even have a lock on the front door!! Now my front door not only has a lock, a deadbolt, and a chain, I also have an alarm company!! I carry my credit cards in an RFID wallet. Virus protection on my computers. I shred everything from old checks to important papers that are no longer valid and even receipts. Anything with personal information goes in the shredder. What about getting packages and legal documents across the state? Anything really important I will only trust to a legal delivery courier. No USPS for the major documents!! I want a company that I can TRUST!! It’s hard to find a company that delivers on it’s promises. Dependable Express is a business that will deliver ANYWHERE same day in the state of Texas. GUARANTEED!! Texas is a really big state and yet, same day delivery!! Not only same day guaranteed delivery but every courier is insured and bonded…
