Chicago Diva On A Dime

Are you one of those people who takes a million pictures over the holidays? I AM! Yes most of us take them on our phones. But they never look as good as a picture on a quality DSLR camera. Phones are great for a spur of the moment shot. But what about planned events that you will be sharing pictures, for years to come. It is the holidays don't you want the very best? You want Christmas lights to twinkle. And not be little blurs in the background.  Canon is one of the leaders in amazing cameras. You can find many of them at a great price at Best buy. Its hard to pick what model is my favorite. But no matter which one you choose you will have the best Holiday pictures on the block. Canon EOS Rebel T5i is one of the best and most popular DSLRs on the market. And with this picture quality its easy to see why. You will be everyone's favorite relative because you took the great family photos this holiday. Canon EOS Rebel T5I features: Capture Hollywood caliber f...

We still see our sons as the little boy, playing with Hot Wheels and Legos on the living room floor. So when our boys start to show signs of growing up, most Moms wanna cry. We want them to remain little forever. Dads on the other hand are excited for their sons to grow up. They have another man in the house. This idea is the story behind Old Spices new promo "DadSong". A cute tale of how Dad feels about his son growing up. If you have not seen it, Check it out at:  http://youtu.be/cKhqUOncefY I can't believe that little boy in the middle is now 15 and 6ft tall. Now as most of you know I'm the mother of a teenage boy. When he started getting older I too wanted to keep him a baby forever. But POOF it seem like overnight he woke up with facial hair and body odor. SMELL...

As most of you know I love and breath social media. What started out as a hobby has blossomed into what I hope is a career, or at least a fun side job. But I have to say trying to find time to do it all is not as easy as it seems. Especially lately my Fibro is acting up but to make matters worst, I gained 40lbs in about 6 months. My Doctor kept trying to say it was all my fault, the weight gain. However, a new Doctor just explained to me its the meds I was on. Since cutting those out I lost over 7lbs. Thats not a lot but great since I am limited by the pain when it comes to working out. But I am staying positive that soon I will have this down to a bearable minimum. I try to also not complain about it much online. Thats what family is for. LOL! Id love to connect with other women going through this too. If you are or know someone. God Bless! And know that there are others like you out here. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog.
