The Hardest Job I’ve Ever Had

Posted on May 22, 2012 by Brandy | 2 Comments

Parenting, it is truly the hardest job I have ever had. I hate to tell my kids no.  I hate to punish them when they have done wrong.  I hate making them take responsibility for their actions.  But it is my job as a parent to do these things.  I love my kids and I want them safe.  It is an emotional…

My New Favorite Shirt (and it’s Not a T-Shirt!)

Posted on May 18, 2012 by Brandy | 7 Comments

Everyone who knows me expects to see me in jeans and a t-shirt.  That’s pretty much as dressy as it gets.  I’ve desperately been trying to change that though.  I have been adding some …eh…more feminine clothing into the mix.  I don’t want to go as far as saying that I dress like a boy, but yea…I dress like a…

Dragon Fly, Wordless Wednesday with Linky!

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Brandy | 20 Comments

I have tried and tried and tried some more to get a photo that I loved of a Dragon Fly.  Time and time again I failed.  It’s not easy, try it!  Those little buggers are so fast.  By the time you frame and focus they are on the run again.  I don’t think they rest…ever. But on Mother’s Day I…

Wordless Wednesday, Pink Panther in Central Park w/Linky

Posted on May 9, 2012 by Brandy | 11 Comments

Central Park was fantastic!  I have a lot of photos from there, but this one I am going to share here is one of my favorites. We were just walking along and suddenly hear “The Pink Panther” being played on the Saxophone.  It was perfectly played too! I looked over and far off under a bridge was a man playing as…

You may know Cobie Smulders from the TV hit, “How I Met Your Mother” where she plays Robin Scherbatsky. She also used to be a model (gee…I wonder why? The chick is gorgeous!) In The Avengers (her first break out role), she plays S.H.I.E.L.D Agent, Maria Hill.  This is a strong female character that I hope to see in more movies…

When we received the Fijit Friends Newbies in the mail, the girls…

Free Hugs in New York! #TheAvengersEvent

Posted on May 3, 2012 by Brandy | 4 Comments

You always hear things about New Yorkers.  Everyone says that they are all rude and obnoxious.  It’s also what they portray in the movies. I have to say that I was completely shocked by how FRIENDLY New Yorkers were to us!  Sure, there were some pretty rude people…but that is everywhere.  But the majority of the people I encountered in…

My Interview with Tom Hiddleston, Loki in The Avengers! #TheAvengersEvent #TeamLoki

Posted on May 3, 2012 by Brandy | 5 Comments

Have you ever seen a room full of women speechless?  This past weekend I truly experienced that for about a full minute as Tom Hiddleston (A.K.A. Loki) entered our suite at the Trump Soho.  I don’t think anyone knew what to expect, because he certainly does not look like Loki off screen. This is what we expected… This is what walked…
