I entered them all.

There is a fabulous contest going on right now through Sears and IZEA. Apparently, they gave some bloggers $500 giftcards to go on a shopping spree at Sears. The bloggers could buy something for themselves or buy for those in need. Then these bloggers get to offer 3 different $500 packages for their readers to [...]

I learned a lot this weekend

Note: I have 2 cousins who I will call K and H for this post. H is the older sister of K. :) Carry on. Saturday was Christmas with my moms family. Apparently one of my younger cousins, K,  has been bitter all these years due to some remarks I made as a child and [...]
