In the Great Smoky Mountains National Park there are two trails that allow dogs, both start at the main welcome centers on either side of the park and go toward the nearest town. We took the Gatlinburg

We are home! It was pretty sad walking in the door tonight and turning on the AC since our house was hot and stuffy. It is 70 now at 11pm but I bet it was 90 earlier today. Blah! So rewind.... For

This is the funniest myth that has appeared on Mythbusters so far, funny because I have heard about it on the radio for a week before and a week after they show aired. How did this become such a hot topic? So

I don't really watch much NFL anymore, but we went to a Super Bowl party tonight and I thought I should at least pick a team! I am really glad the Giants won - not that I am a Giants fan. I just can't

One of my clients has a gingerbread house making party every year. She has invited us in the past but we could never make it. This year we finally had a chance to go - and it was so awesome! You can
