  Well, I’m done with my second week of my weight-loss journey with Studio V, and I’ve got to tell you, it’s been a rollercoaster ride!  This week I started off strong, but some health problems got in the way and have set me back a little bit.   I’m finally…

  “I watched and waited  as your eyes chose their hue. Deciding in time on their beautiful blue. Blue as a butterfly or the sparkling sea. Blue as the bluebird who sings in her tree.” Sure to become a new classic bedtime story, Beautiful Blue Eyes celebrates the uniqueness in…

I remember when I had my first baby girl.  I used to dream about the day her hair grew long enough for me to put it into pretty braids and barrettes, and I would imagine quiet evenings by the fire with her on my lap as I calmly combed out her…

 I just got a kick out of this name- a glasses store, selling glasses direct “Eye Buy Direct”. Anybody else? No, Ok well I am easily amused. Eye Buy direct is an online source to purchase prescription (and non prescription) glasses, including the lenses! I must say I was rather…
