My Eat, Pray, Love Moment At #Latism11

Last week I had the opportunity to attend the LATISM 11 conference in Chicago. It was my first time visiting Chicago. Even more exciting, I was going sans kids. The morning started bright and early.

#Latism11: The Magnificent Mile

Wordless Wednesday: Because Sometimes You Need A Contract

Because sometimes you need a contract…even at home! After drawing up the below contract for my 10 year old tween, he asked for an attorney.

What Size Are You?

Wordless Wednesday: I brought a “Cow in Cream”?

While sorting through piles of papers this weekend, I came across this (see below). It seems I brought a very inexpensive “Cow in Cream”. For the life of me, I can’t figure out what a “Cow in Cream” is? I’ve been racking my brain but can’t figure it out. Any ideas? Happy WW!
