This year we're closing out the year with a bang as I wrap up the final edits of the book (eeekkkkkkkkk) and we fight our traditional Christmas flu. Yep, it's one of our crazy ... [ read more... ]

Can you guys believe the 4th of July is this weekend? This weekend! Yea, me either, I've been a total slacker in the red, white, and blue blogging department.
