My daughter’s school is participating in Cancer Awareness Week this week. This is something that is very near and dear to my heart since I lost my Pappaw to cancer last year.

She said, “I would love to have a sleepover with *insert boys name here*.” Even though I know her best friends at school are…

Yesterday I got the call that school was letting out early for the snow so I ran to the store to grab some goodies so we would be ready for our snow day(s). I saw a new chocolate milk, TruMoo Chocolate Marshmallow. The selling point for me was that it could be served hot or cold. What perfect way to warm up after playing in the snow…
