Meet My People
“Find your tribe and love them hard.” – Unknown
Everyone has a tribe. It’s the people that make you feel whole, that people you identify with, the people who “get” you. Sometimes your tribe can even include a company or a brand that defines your values and beliefs. Your tribe probably has someone that is guaranteed to make you laugh on any given day, someone that will sob with you in the hard times, and someone that inspires you to venture outside your comfort zone. Your tribe is a gift that is uniquely yours, and you should hold it close. Welcome to my tribe.

My first fantasy football draft
I still think the GMC folks have been spending too much time on that BBQ smoker they drag around behind the NFL truck to think that a building a league of MommyBloggers was a brilliant idea. I hope no one gets fired because largely, the Mommies are all clueless. If...
