I was first introduced to Hansen’s Natural Soda about 10 years ago when I was working as a nanny for a family back in Louisiana. The mom of that family was really big into feeding her family only whole, unprocessed, natural, and organic food when possible. I learned a lot about healthy eating during my [...]

As a former high school French teacher, Back To School time makes me almost giddy.

Back to School: $100 Kids Apparel Haul with Walmart

1 Comment 08 August 2012

Back to school time always seems to be this weird mix of sad and exciting. Sad that the summer is over, sad that it’s time to buckle down and study again, but exciting because there is so much new – new clothes, new school supplies, new teacher, new friends, new classroom. Truly, going back to [...]

My job all through high school was at the local movie theater. From about 1997-2000 I saw almost every movie that came to the movie theater. Some were epic. Some were forgettable. But you never forget the epic movies because they just become a part of you.
