In a few weeks I’m going to be a studio audience member of The Martha Stewart Show! The topic…Bloggers! Did you know she has her own blog? She does! In it she shares snapshots and tidbits about her adventures as only Martha can!

I am beyond excited. Martha Stewart has been one of my favorite media people types [...]

Change is possible. It can all start with a girl.

I learned about changing the world one girl at a time thanks to the Bored Mommy. She’s really cool you should totally go check her [...]

Freedom Isn’t Free

Freedom. Yours, mine, ours. It belongs to us. It’s our God given right. Our freedom thought-isn’t free-there is a price. As an Air Force wife I can give you a long list of the sacrifices my husband and our family make on a daily basis so that he can serve. Serving our country is an honor [...]

Weight of the World: Justin Furstenfeld Hospitalized

nicóle — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:45:11 +0000

I’ve been sitting here trying to come up with something eloquent to say. Words you know, are supposed to be my thing. Instead I’m left tearing up into my sangria. I’m sad. My heart is heavy because someone who feels like a friend is hurting. He’s not a friend, but I feel like I [...]

A few weeks ago I wrote to tell you about Blue October and the Pick Up the Phone Tour which is advocating suicide prevention and other mental health programs. This morning’s press conference for Pick Up the Phone Suicide Prevention was held in D.C., sans Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October. According to their twitter [...]

French shoe designer Christian Louboutin–known and drooled upon for his five inch red soled stilettos has reportedly said (to Women’s Wear Daily Magazine) that before Barbie can don a pair of his shoes she needs to loose some weight–around her ankles that is. Yes folks. You read right. Barbie has been called [...]

Rogue Balloon Missing Boy Was Never Really Missing

nicóle — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 21:35:22 +0000

I returned home this afternoon from the doctor’s office (Michael has bronchitis) to hear my husband calling for me like the house was on fire. I race upstairs to find him in our bedroom remote control in his hand television on pause.

“You’ve got to see this!” He exclaims while releasing the television from its frozen state.

There [...]

Modern Day Scarlet Letter

nicóle — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 22:49:43 +0000

Never underestimate the resourcefulness of a woman– better yet, “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” Check out this dude who cheated on his wife. To make up for it — she made him wear a huge sign that read “I cheated, this is my punishment.” He stood on a street in a busy [...]

Religion on Desperate Houswives an Oxymoron?

nicóle — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 01:36:00 +0000

Last night Desperate Housewives was back in full force. I usually love the show, and I enjoyed most of it last night. However this episode left me questioning much as Lynette was. Except unlike Lynette I’m not questioning my faith, but rather why my faith seems to be the butt of so many jokes in Hollywood. [...]

Vietnam War Memorial Vandalized!!

nicóle — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 14:37:00 +0000

Do I need to stop reading the news, or watching T.V. today. I’m just annoyed beyond belief at the person who would vandalize our Nation’s Vietnam War Memorial. Yes folks, for those of you living out side of the D.C. area you might not have heard about this, because well it’s not just as [...]

The Bogey Man

nicóle — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 14:10:00 +0000

I honestly don’t know what to think of this story. What is our world coming to? On a constant daily basis we’re exposed to nearly pornographic material in the media. So why is it that I’m shocked to read this story? I supposed I’m not nearly as desensitized as I might suspect.

Curious as to what caused [...]
