Recently myself and a group of fellow bloggers had the opportunity to attend an online screening of the movie Mighty Fine.
Prior to the screening invitation, I hadn’t heard much about this new movie, so I visited the Mighty Fine movie website to read up on it and found a great deal of information, including this little synopsis. Continue reading »
I have to admit, I enjoy dressing Bubbles. I love cute baby and toddler clothes, from the little summery dresses, to tiny little sandals, to cute pairs of shorts in prints that only a 14-month old can pull off. And when those cute clothes give back to the community through charitable donations, I feel like I’ve scored double.
The combination of cute and charitable are just two reasons why I really love Lucky Puppy gear. The idea for Lucky Puppy came when Sandi Hochman adopted her first furry friend, Maddie, from a local shelter. She soon created her own line of pet-lover gear, Lucky Puppy, and donates a percentage of every sale to select dog organizations so that every dog can be a lucky puppy. Continue reading »
When we were moving into our new place, I had to go to the town water company office to get the water, etc. transferred over to us. When I did, they offered me a free plastic recycling crate to use. We can sit it out with the trash every Tuesday, and the waste management company will pick up both for us.
While I like that they support recycling efforts, and provided the container for free, it’s not really something that I want to set in my kitchen. It’s kind of unsightly and Bubbles would be trying to load and unload it all day long. I also am pretty sure I would trip over it 19 times a day. I didn’t want to just toss everything into a paper bag or box, though; so messy and they would only be good to use a few times before they were destroyed.
Growing up, I wasn’t what you would call a country music “fan”. I made all the standard jokes (country music is an oxymoron, ha ha. Wasn’t I witty?) and teased my friends who listened to the genre. I was one of the few odd (wo)men out, as almost everyone I knew enjoyed at least a few country music artists.
It turned out that for me, country music was a lot like asparagus: give it a try, and you’ll find that you like it. Once I actually listened to a wider sampling with an open mind I found that I liked country music very much. Today, if you get in the car with me, you’ll find it’s always tuned in to a country station.
