Marmaduke on DVD and Fill The Backpack Giveaway #2

September 15, 2010

One of my favorite memories as a child was reading the comic strips in the Sunday paper with my grandfather, grandmother, dad or whoever else I could sucker into getting into a chair for some snuggling and giggling.

My Obligatory Pre Blogher Post

July 27, 2010

I admit it, I’m jumping on the bandwagon here. It seems everyone is posting their best advice for dealing with the overwhelming days and jam-packed nights of Blogher ’10 and I would throw a little something together, too.
