This One Time, At Band Camp...

As I mentioned, last week I spent five days in Canada at a work leadership Camp. I realized that I’m beyond blessed to work for a global company in which more than ½ of the campers were from a country other than the United States. Also, daily I reminded myself that this is even more beyond cool considering that the company was founded in my hometown of Pittsburgh. Let’s just say that I was one proud...

Pink Ponies

I work in public relations. If you don't, you'd probably say that you know what PR is. But do you really? I've heard my parents explain it like I was in advertising or just name where I work and people say "oh yeah, that's a good company." At one time I think my dad had people convinced that I sold alcohol. I guess that's kinda cool ; ) Over the past five days, I spent some time at a life-changing...

I Like Capes, but I Hate Snape

Today is a day of mixed emotions for me. It’s that weird feeling that you get when you graduate high school or college and you say good bye to your friends. You know that you’ll see them again soon, but things won’t be the same. Tonight, I will see the final Harry Potter movie. I know I’ll laugh, I’ll cry and or dress up (or all of the above), but regardless, I’m excited and sad all at the same...

For those of you that know me well, Know that writing poems is something I find swell. I write poems inside cards and to enhance gifts, I write poems to sometimes give friends who are feeling down a little lift. Last weekend I bedazzled a poem that I found on the internet, This craft is so easy, it won't cause a sweat. Six wine bottles were decorated by my mom with bows, My...

Love & Music

“Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music.” -Ronald Reagan Last weekend we attended the nuptials of my cousin Nick and his new wife Janice. They both are music teachers, so the wedding was full of cute musical touches. My favorite detail of their wedding was the kiss song. So there’s that tradition of clinging your sliverwear against your glass to make the couple kiss. Well as an...

Sand-Tastic

I hope you all had a happy 4th of July! The hubs and I had an active weekend of weddings, brunches, luau’s and wings – lots of wings for some weird reason! The luau was to celebrate the homecoming of a family friend’s daughter that lives in Hawaii. She comes home for a few weeks each summer, so friends and family celebrate with a luau! I decided to make the most festive dish I could think...
