Yes, I did audition for Oprah's Own-Whoohoo!

Blast central! I have to tell you how much fun I am having this week with my Oprah audition. The application was a doozy. It took a lot of thought and time, and I completed it while on the drive to my cousin's wedding in Indiana this past weekend- not while driving of course! Oprah says NO to distracted driving.

Meanwhile, there are SO many good ideas for shows. I'm trying to get creative and think of ways to promote voting. I could....make a song with a ditty, a little rap that won't get out of your head. Then every day while you're driving you'll be singing my rap and remember to vote.



Or...I could make a video and hypnotize you so that every time you are hungry you think about voting. If you are like me, that's pretty often. Or, I could hack into all of your computers and send very friendly emails by you to all of your friends kindly asking for their repeated votes.

Now THAT is thinking outside of the box. That's what I am, an Idea Muffin. Wife, employee, business owner, friend, family member, board member, Rotarian, and Sunday School teacher- oh yes, and Oprah show host OF COURSE!

Been There, Done That Bride: Casey Bunn

I'll admit it- I get a little giddy when a new Been There, Done That bride comes across my desk. This week, I'm especially delighted to share the story of my friend, and Richmond Twitter Celebster Casey Bunn with RSVPHere.com.

Think that planning a wedding is tough when trying to work at the same time? You haven't heard anything yet.

Take it away Casey...

Why are you a “Been There, Done That” Bride?

I planned my entire wedding while holding down a job and running a company RSVPhere.com in my spare time! We were our own first customers! I was investing all of my money in my business, so opted out of a wedding planner, but boy do I see why brides use them! .....

Planning a Summer Baby Shower?

Whether inside or out, celebrating a baby shower, much less any party in the summer can make for the hottest of times. The perfect foods for occasions during these warmer months are light and refreshing treats created with the ingredients of summer. Buffet style showers are the way to go, creating ease with serving for you, while allowing your guests to mingle as they’re enjoying their food. I stumbled across a few recipes recently that would make for the perfect summer fare. For any of those last minute additions or completely starting fresh add them to your menu at your baby shower and enjoy the tastes of summer! ( Double up on ingredients for large parties).
