We started watching New Girl when it first came out... and even set our DVR to record in case we missed an episode...  Talk about laughing!!! Love this... and love that we can both enjoy it...   I am so excited that Season Two is almost available,as that means that Season Three is about to start!!!! If you want to give a bunch of laughs to someone (or to keep for yourself)  check out Season Two of New Girl!!!  Gotta love Nick and Jess!!! “New Girl” Season Two The romantic tension between Jess (Emmy® Nominee Zooey Deschanel) and Nick (JakeJohnson) escalates in the hilarious, quirky second season of “New Girl” — but will they ever hook up?

I was sent a couple new deodorants to try out and I love the way that it feels when I put it on...   GeoDeo is so "cool".  No, really... it is cool...   It is not a gel, but it is not one of the white solids like I am used to using...It is one of those invisible solids...  It is like a smooth "ice" that goes on.  It is cool and refreshing and I have enjoyed using it! I do think that the "Island" scent is my favorite though! Some features are: ·           Volcanic minerals & icelandic algae to fight impurities ·           Bamboo & aloe to nourish skin ·           Breakthrough eco-technology to help cleanse pores ·           24- hour odor protection ·           Vita

Yes, I took two years of classes, but I just do not remember the words. ( I do know some, so it's not that bad!) When I had the chance to review a book that would help him learn Spanish, I was very excited! Colores by Alejandra Poj is a great book for little hands.   It is a small paperback book. (Perfect to throw in your purse to pull out while dining out!) Colores is illustrated in simple pictures, so that the reader can focus more on reading the words versus getting involved in the illustrations!   Each page, has a couple lines of text... then a photo to go along with the words...  The words are

Well, it was time to cut my hair... So- here you go: Before: After:  Now, the hair that was cut is being donated to Wigs for Kids!!!! Do you ever donate your hair?

Time to get personal here and ask you a favor... Remember how I said that I used to work in a sports bar? Well, being a manager there (and working there for almost 10 years) I have met tons of people.... Some were customers and others were my co-workers... The one I want to tell you about today was a co-worker of mine. Hope.  This girl... I tell ya...  Lover of life and just a great person... Well, years have passed (we are facebook friends, no worry)  and I want to tell you about her and her husband, Steve ...  I am going to really condense it down for you...  Not to be rude, but because I want you to watch the video and keep them in your prayers... IMAGE FROM HOPES FACEBOOK PAGE Long story short: Hope and Steve met... Started dating...  He was diagnosed with ALS (AKA Lou Gehrig's disease)  I don't think he was even 30 years old yet...  He was in love with Hope and proposed...  They got married (like within 2 months of the proposal)  Hope was even on Say Yes to

We love reading books and it is fun to read the ones that have a bit of interaction with the book and the reader...  We were sent the book, Arlo's ARTrageous Adventure by David LaRochelle.  First of all, let me start with saying that I love going to Museums.  Guess that was an added bonus for me going to art school.  Anyways... I love going and hope that Broxton shares my love of art... We have never been to an art museum together.. I honestly just do not think he is ready to go at this time...  But, we did have the chance to go to museums through the internet and books!   In Arlo's ARTrageous Adventure, we get to enjoy the arts with a lift the flap theme. In the opening page, we meet Arlo

The only problem is that have you ever had old tea?  Not.  That.  Great. So, when we are getting ready to go out of town or something, we don't make tea... as we don't want to waste it.  Oh.. and remember Marc not being a fan of water?  and trying to cut back on sodas?  Yeah... tea is like air around here...
