Many people have arrived at this post searching for information about Gina Carlin, a blogger who was supposed to attend the conference. I found out the day of the conference that she had passed away, but didn’t know if I should post about it. I never met Gina, but we have a mutual friend, and [...]

A while back, I went on a school trip to a place called “Lazy 5 Ranch” near Charlotte, NC. It’s kind of like a zoo, except you get to drive through the animal areas, and feed them! It was so incredible to be so close to the animals! The most obnoxious animals were the ostriches, [...]
I’m finally putting to paper (or screen) an idea that has been on my mind for a long time! Many people know that I am proud North Carolinian, and a blogger, and a business owner. We have such an amazing state, as well as outstanding bloggers and businesses here, and I want the world to [...]
I am sorry that Your Life, Your Blog is late today! The only way I can describe last week is that a tornado of ballet costumes, bobby pins and sequins thundered through my house and evacuated us to the town Auditorium for the week! We are done, but very exhausted around here! So this week’s [...]

I wrote about why the High Country of NC is the best place in America, (hint: [...]
The High Country of North Carolina is a very interesting place. Here, we are surrounded by the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, home to several ski slopes, but can sometimes just snowboard down our neighborhood streets!
