Oh gosh, why does a fashion blog need an intern? All the blogger does is stand around and look cute in gifted clothes while her boyfriend takes her picture. It’s not like blogging is hard, it’s just to try to look important, right? Wrong. In 2016, blogging is a true business and is far more…
When you read this the Garys will already be on the road for our cross-country road trip! We’re so lucky to have friends who will be moving in and house sitting for us (and dog sitting for Cindy too!). I feel good knowing we have friends and neighbors taking care of our home and Cindy…

I did my research and went with ParaGard, a hormone-free copper inter-uterine device which was free with my insurance. In this post, I share…
I’ve had some pretty amazing opportunities as a blogger but the one at the top of the list has to be the other week when I was invited to the White House. The WHITE HOUSE!!!! Though I was born in DC and have lived in the area my whole life, the only time I’ve been…
