I have to tell you, I am so glad to be back in East Texas! My family tree runs all through it, from Gilmer to Jacksonville to Troup. I know the difference between a Jacksonville "mater," a Noonday onion and a Gilmer yam! I also eat, breathe, and sleep pop culture and the “at work” lifestyle. Outside of radio, I’m a busy working mom -- proud of my two little ones, ages 10 and 4. They keep me grounded. Time management -- what’s that? I’m just as guilty as the next working mom and I try to get it all done in a day! Calm, cool, and together? That's NOT ME! Bad hair days, lollipop stuck to my bottom, plastic Spider-Man in my purse … THAT’S more like it. I’m also active in Girl Scouting where I lead a troop. I'm also an avid runner, a Sunday School teacher and a Crock Pot aficionado (let's swap recipes). Thanks for having me back and I look forward to hearing from you!

Breast Feeding Doll Coming Soon [VIDEO]
Wow! Not sure what to say about this one, I saw this on CNN and couldn't believe my eyes. I doubt it will be coming to Toys-R-Us but who knows! Am I right or wrong? Not sure? I have a feeling there will be no middle ground with this one! Let's discuss this one. After the jump, watch the video and then leave me your comments!
Where Are They Taking Steve? [VIDEO]
Monday afternoon Lisa Thomas posted a story about Kraft producing a square marshmallow perfect for making S'mores. Lisa's always finding great new products and this one made me happy and it also reminded me of a video I saw on YouTube a while back that had me more than LMAO or ROTFL. I mean it was really funny. So find out 'Where they're taking Steve' after the jump.
Stackermallows From Kraft
I'm a sucker for "the easy way"! Uncrustables -- bought 'em -- Bagel Thins -- bought 'em! Anything that cuts my work load will get my vote. Kraft has now introduced Stackermallows, has anyone tried these? Rectangular shaped so they can fit your S'More easier. I'm in LOVE! I'm a die-hard camper so this idea thrills me. I am also a happy camper now thanks to my Kraft newsletter. ha
Chico The Elephant Dies At Caldwell Zoo
Bummer! Sad news today, Chico the elephant has died. If you've ever been to the Caldwell Zoo, Chico was that massive African elephant that seemed to dominate the rest of the herd! My son and I went to the zoo last Summer and found they had one of the paths closed off because he was near the fence. They had a sign saying they would do this from time to time for safety reasons. Chico was like 46
Burgers For Aspergers In Lindale
Hot! Sweaty! Cranky! Tired! Yuk! We'll get through this right? You may or may not know, my sweet son was born with a brain tumor that caused some developmental delays when he was born. He started to display some behavioral problems early this year and is on the Autism Spectrum. Grrrr. Oh well, he is such a joy and mine!! I love him! I wanted to let you know about a great event coming up
Christina Perri Question On Jeopardy
We're melting...we're melting.....Day 14 of the heat...ugh! Now, something besides the heat!! I am a big Christina Perri fan! I love her story and I love her excitement over her career taking off! Can you imagine how "status" she is now after this...
My Vacation To Carlsbad Caverns
My kids and I had a chance to go on a much needed vacation this past week! Ruidoso, New Mexico was greatness! We had a chance to go horseback riding, bet on horses at Ruidoso Downs, roll down hills at White Sands, spot numerous deer, elk, and bears! Oh, and the mornings were a cool 52 degrees!! Yep! Priceless! We also stopped at Carlsbad Caverns on the way home. Have you been lately? Gorge
Pure Fresh East Texas Peaches
Is there anything better than an East Texas peach? I am one who can tell the difference too! Haha. My 100 year old Aunt Letha makes the absolute BEST peach cobbler I'm sure it's legendary in Jacksonville. I just hate what this year's bizarre weather has done to our farmers!! It's really delayed the peach crop. I always love to support our local farmers here in East Texas.

Henderson’s Haunted House Streams Live Saturday Night
Perhaps it's because I'm twisted, perhaps it's because I have no life, but I love to be scared! Scary movies, haunted houses, urban legends - bring it!! There's a group of ghosthunters in Longview called the Unkonwn Paranormal Group that will be streaming live from the Howard-Dickinson House in Henderson on Saturday night. Have you heard of this place?
No More Cheerleaders For TJC
I read something this morning that just burns me up. TJC is doing away with its cheerleading program. NO Apache cheerleaders in the Fall. I know, it's a budget thing and the coach's salary is also being slashed..along with other things...but this just seems un-Texan.
Gentlemen, Wear Pink
Hey it's Lisa Thomas, look at my sweet boy! I just have to brag for a second! Here he is at his first wedding. He was a ring bearer and for those of you that have attended more than a few weddings, you know this can either go well...
