A Happy Home for Hotel Toiletries

by This is Carrie on February 8, 2010

Homeless shelters and battered women’s shelters always seem to be looking for sample size toiletries for the people they serve.  So, I took up another collection of hotel tolietries and ended up with a huge bag full to take over to the OC Cold Weather shelter.

Anything Goes

by This is Carrie on February 6, 2010

The girls loved performing together in the show. I loved it too. Same show meant same class,which meant less shuttling to extracurricular activities by mom. Princess was perfectly poised and did everything “just right” and Pumpkin, the youngest performer in the show, couldn’t help but steal the hearts of everyone in the audience. The girls […]
