Discover Boating With Your Family Too
Ever since I was a child I have loved not only swimming at the lake and building sand castles, but I have always loved boating. I remember when I was young going on my aunt and uncle’s friends boat. I remember loving going fast and the wind blowing fast in my face. Back then I told myself that I was going to have a boat too when I was older like my aunt and uncle’s friend.
This summer we don’t have a boat, but maybe looking at buying new and used boats for sale. We have had various boats over the years that always provided a ton of fun for our family. For some of us, we like the boats that go FAST….
(Our old boat we had a few years ago. Too fast for me!)
Even though I like the boats that go fast and make my hair fly back, I have children and would love to have more of a family boat that we can use to cruise the lake as well as maybe take up wakeboarding. My son is getting older and I would love to be able to see him wakeboard on the lake like some of my friend’s children do. As for my daughters, they prefer to use one of those water discs that they can lay and hold on to rather than wakeboard which requires balance.
For those with a passion for boating like me, I would encourage you to visit the DiscoverBoating website. They have some very cool features for those of you that not only are looking to buy a boat, but for those that are already boat owners as well. Here are some of the features and tools you might want to take advantage of:
- Boat Selector Tool: A great way to understand the different types and sizes of boats available:
- Try Before You Buy: Research ways to get out on the water without owning:
- Cost Comparison Tool: Compare the cost of boating over other leisure activities
- Just for Kids: Fun games and activities for kids to learn more about boating:
- Marina and Ramp Locator: Find a local marina or boat ramp close to your home:
- Facebook Movie Maker App: Bring boating to life through personal photos made into your very own short movie
If you are really interested in boating, the DiscoverBoating website has a FREE “Get Started In Boating DVD” that you might want to sign up for. For more information, visit: https://discoverboating.com.

Hallmark’s Moments And Milestones Tour In San Francisco – #HallmarkTour
This month I got a special invitation to participate in the Hallmark’s Moments And Milestones Tour that took place in San Francisco. Since I don’t live too far from San Francisco and I happen to LOVE the city, I accepted the invitation and made my way to the bay, especially since I love Hallmark stuff.
When we arrived we had a meet and greet and enjoyed some breakfast before the event officially started. Not only did I get to meet some other friendly local bloggers and the friendly PR that invited me, but also three creative experts from Hallmark that are not only authors, they also make some of the fun Hallmark cards that some of you have probably already given to friends and loved ones. Here are these experts I got to hang out with:
Molly Wigand, Writer – Molly Wigand’s portfolio doesn’t begin or end with greeting cards. For more than 30 years, she’s had stints as a screenplay writer, stand-up comedian, freelancer, teacher and has published a few children’s, how-to and inspirational books along the way. It wasn’t until the early 80s that Molly began her journey as a greeting card writer and editor for Hallmark. After a brief departure from the company to raise her family, she happily returned in 1999 and today works as a consulting writer in Hallmark’s Humor Works Studio.
Lisa Riggin, Writing Director – For as long as Lisa Riggin can remember, she’s wanted to be a writer. She got her start at just seven years old when she wrote an impressive birthday poem for her mom. Over time, she continued finding ways to grow as a writer in the jobs she had prior to landing at Hallmark. Currently the writing director for Hallmark, Lisa will celebrate 11 years with the company’s writing community in August. When she’s not fueling her creativity through people watching, fine arts and nature, Lisa enjoys hiking, sailing and making lotions and teas for her family and friends.
Tom Shay-Zapien, Writer – Drawing upon his eclectic childhood (which included looking for crawdads under creek stones, reading and re-reading encyclopedias, pretending to be athletic and exploring varied styles of music) and experience as a youth minister and counselor, Tom Shay-Zapien applies his understanding of human emotion and the strength of his “creative subconscious” in his daily work as a writer for Hallmark Cards.
Before the event, we were asked to share a special moment about our dad. Unfortunately I forgot to include some text, but a picture of my family is included in this video we all got to watch together. Please watch it below:
After we watched the video we had a writers type of workshop where one of the activities was to sit at our table with one of the Hallmark employees and come up with greetings for some funny looking blank pictures. Being able to brainstorm with other bloggers and Tom Shay-Zapien was an awesome experience for me.
We had another writing assignment called “Tell Them”, where we shared something we wanted to say to someone we love. Even though I can be extremely shy, I got up in front of the group and shared my story too!
While we were there, we got to fill out Hallmark cards which was fun. I thought that being able to meet the actual author of the card I sent to the husband for Father’s Day was awesome! I had to take a picture of her holding the card so I could show him once he got his card.
Overall, this was an awesome event and not the only place that Hallmark is stopping at. I am glad I was able to attend and make some special memories while I was there. For more information, be sure to check out the #HallmarkTour Hashtag on Twitter.

I Swear I Seen Drake On #ChatRoulette
So last night I was at one of my friends house watching that show that Kim Kardashian is in. I don’t watch her show, so I don’t even know what the name of it was. During the show, Kim and one of her friends was messing around on the ChatRoulette website. This person had mentioned that she looked like Kim Kardashian. I seen she had a camera and I think she was taking pictures of the person on the screen. Anyhow, my friend was like what is up with that Chatroulette? I told her I hadn’t even heard of it.
So we get on just for fun. Hey Kim was on it so why not just peek.
Let’s say there are some WEIRDOS on there. A reason I have always avoided video chatrooms. We kept hitting the next button and I swear DRAKE and his friend was on it. I hurried and grabbed my camera and took a picture before he Nexted me.
My friend and I SWEAR it was him. I hurried and got off the website after seeing that so I could go home and show my daughter which happens to be a Drake fan too!
P.S. I only went on that chatroom because Kim Kardashian did. Otherwise, I stay clear of men with video cameras online. 🙂
