Since January joyful little packages have been mailed out to our monthly glamjulz subscribers.

The intention of each package is to put a smile on a woman’s face and offer words of positivity and hope in a time when we all need it.  The focus, of course, is the beautiful julz inside the package but sending along a little something extra has also been well received.

I was overworked and experiencing some sort of burnout.  I just wanted to lie in bed, (more…)

Oh my goodness everyone.  It’s been a tough three months at our house.  As you know, our sweet baby girl Boink was diagnosed with lymphoma in April and went to heaven to be with her Opa last week.

So many of you have been through this pain yourselves and the outpouring of condolences, beautiful poems and your own personal memories of our girl is something we will always treasure.

Right now my Instagram and Facebook is flooded with friends showing off their second vax Band-Aid!  Some of them actually cried when they received the second shot.  They were tears of relief as a clear vision of a brighter tomorrow came over them like a tidal wave.
