I just happened to stumble across the cutest game via Social Couture. It’s called “Thanksgiving Box of Questions” and it’s the perfect game for family and friends gathered around the table for the holiday. My family loves all things games {Wii, Catch Phrase, Poker} so this is definitely something I can see them getting excited […]

Can I ask one question: will someone please tell me what happened to October? One minute it was here, and the next… it was gone. I swear time flies by so much faster the older I get and then I sit and ponder trying to recap what just happened. I hope everyone had a fantastic […]

Today at work, we are celebrating the season with our annual chili cook-off and costume contest… I think a lot of us just want to dress up so that we can act a little bit child-like and find a way to get away with it around work collleagues. Because I have yet to perfect a […]
