It's Festivus… for the rest of us!

I remember as though it was yesterday, me, so confident that the blessing I now call Riley was going to be a girl. A girl I could dress up in pink, bows, and animal print. One that I could take shopping and we'd just have a girlie old time together.

But, alas, he was to be a boy. I panicked. What in the WORLD would I do with a boy? I was soon comforted with the fact that everyone says little boys love their ma...

Phew! So I’ve neglected this blog entirely too much over the last few weeks. While I’m not one for excuses, I figure moving cross country might work in this situation. Not that anyone reads this blog that doesn't already know this, but after spending the last several years seeking to inspire the minds of America’s future and working as an activist on the ground in Texas, I took a giant leap and moved to Washington, D.C. at the end of September.

A storm is brewing in Tampa and it's not just Hurricane Isaac. Yes, it's cliche and the statement has been used all over the place for the last ten days to describe threats such as a tropical storm, Vice President Joe Biden, and anarchist's attempts to block basic services and access to the convention.

How Entitlement Reform Will Promote Economic Growth - ...

I love working grassroots events and observing the ever increasing numbers of women getting involved - really taking charge and giving back through activism. Women have their finger on the pulse of their families and communities.
