The Last Summer on Earth with Barenaked Ladies

Music takes me places. And I have a history of taking myself to the places where Barenaked Ladies are performing.

TechMom Tuesday – What the heck is my password?

Love at First Bark: A Review

This was a paid review for BlogHer Book Club but the opinions expressed are my own. (And yes, I was allowed to dislike the book. But I didn’t.)

One of the nice things about a vacation is the opportunity to read again. So, as I headed toward Hawaiian paradise this past week, I picked up my BlogHer Book Club copy of “Love at First Bark: How Saving A Dog Can Sometimes Help You Save Yourselfby Julie Klam and began to read.
