Going back to school with CVS Minute Clinic
Disclosure: I have received promotional consideration from MinuteClinic and Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. All opinions are my own. Have you noticed how late Labor Day is this year?

Awesome but exhausting weekend
We live a pretty low key life. It’s quite infrequent that we have multiple social events in one weekend, but this weekend was the exception to that. I think I need a detox to recover… I’m linking up with Tara and Erin for my weekend recap, so stop by their blogs to see what everyone…

Deja vu all over again
August. How can a month with so many high points be a month I tire of before it ends? I mean, this month had a beer festival, a half marathon, and my birthday, for goodness’ sake! Yet, every.single.year. I’m in the same mental place by the end of the month. Over.it. I swear I suffer…
