Looking For Someone from 1940?
May 11, 2012 by
The 1940 Census was conducted based on a census date of April 1, 1940 and was given a seventy-two year privacy restriction. After a 72 year embargo the 1940 census was finally released on 4/2/12. How cool is it that you can now search for people from the 1940's? I am always interested in my family tree and where my family was and came from so I am going to be using the website to see what kind of information I can find. What I find cool about the 1940 census is the questions that were … [Read more...]
Treats for my dogs from Cesar
May 10, 2012 by
Have you met our newest additions? Rocky and Coco (otherwise know as Coco-nuts) are 2 doggies we rescued from different situations last month. Rocky was severely abused and Coco was taken to a shelter because his owner didn’t want him anymore. They are still young dogs, 3-4 years old with lots of personality and attitude. They are my shadows, especially Rocky. He’s the chicken of the group, hiding from every noise and person that comes into the room. I try to pamper these guys to show … [Read more...]

On to Week 2
May 8, 2012 by
Week 1 down and I'm kicking ass. Well that's what I told myself last night. I have a habit of quitting when it comes to exercise and weight loss. If it isn't easy than I'm done before I've even gotten a chance to see a huge change. BUT this week is starting better. I finished the entire day's program. I started off strong, that's probably my problem. Usually by the 20 minute mark I start to get some pain in my ankle calves I kept going whether it was walking or running. I'm not one to keep … [Read more...]

Today the clever cargo features offered in the new Ford Escape can be appreciated by moms and dads alike. I'm the kind of mom that transports a first aid kit, blankets, games, reusable bags and more in the car for the just in case … [Read more...]

Disney Pixar Brave Coming Soon
May 6, 2012 by
On June 22nd, Disney and Pixar will release their 13th feature film, Brave. This is one that I've been waiting for. Just looking at the elaborate scenes and reading the plot it's destined to be a fantastic story. Unlike Disney's usual films this one is darker, more mature. Based in 10th century Scotland, Brave is about a young girl fighting against tradition to create her own fate. Merida (voiced by Kelly Macdonald) defies the custom and sets off to change things for good. Instead she … [Read more...]
