Guest post written by my buddy Bernardo Graham
Gosh, I love working with my sister. She and I started and event planning service a few years back and it’s slowly grown into the business we have today and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. She and I just get along so well and we have really complimentary skill sets so it’s nice when I don’t know the answer that she usually does. We’ve got a home office at her house, actually, since she had an extra bedroom and it’s all set up with bank card processing software and tow phone lines and a meeting area for new clients. I love being able to work with brides and businesspeople all day long and she’d much rather pour over the details like invitations and caterers so we really work well together. It’s become a full-time money maker for both of us and I think we’re both surprised it’s gone this far. I never imagined this little job would be more than a hobby for the both of us!

I love to sew, and have always wanted a dressmaker’s dummy! My wonderful sister just gave me a used one that her hubby bought at a flea market! However it came with no instructions, and I have no idea how to adjust it to be my body measurements! Hmmmm…… Gonna have to play around with it I guess! I’ve got lots of fabric and patterns for dresses that I want to sew to wear to my Red Hatter’s group dinners!
I’m thrilled to have it!

One thing I can say about mens underwear is that it is pretty darned easy to order them online. I don’t know about you but when I need new underwear I have to go out shopping and look through endless piles and racks of under garments and then try all the ones that I have found on. What a pain that is considering that you have to (and really need to) keep your own underwear on underneath the new ones, for sanitary reasons of course. It is so hard to get the real feel of things that way, if you know what I mean.
I have been buying my son’s and my husbands underwear for as long as I remember and now I have been purchasing them online which has been a time and money saver, both of which are awesome. I can usually find good deals and free shipping is always a must when ordering anything online, if not those shipping and handling charges can really rack up the final total bill and we can’t be having that these days.

Tea is one of my favorite beverages. I love to drink a cup of tea in the morning when I first get up. My youngest son also enjoys tea when he first gets up. I learned to love tea when I was a little girl. My parents drank tea in the morning, the basic black pekoe tea with sugar and milk. It was a great treat to be allowed to have a sip of it in the morning!

I’ve got an idea stuck in my head, and I can thank my kid sister for that. She had brought up some time ago the idea of a few of us close female family member taking a holiday trip to some place nice and warm, like Maui for example. She keeps talking about this and it has really gotten my excited about doing something like this maybe for the next holiday season, after this year’s one that is up and coming quicker than I’d like it to. This year no one has any extra money for presents or a trip and a stay at one of the plush Maui Condos that we have been talking and dreaming of so quite some time now.
Who wouldn’t enjoy a nice relaxing holiday season for a change. Instead of dealing with all the stress and madness that takes place during those crazy months that so many people and families get put through each and every year. Sitting on a tropical beach, soaking up the sun, people watching and drinking one of those drinks with the little umbrella in it sounds so much better than dealing with the wet, cold, nasty weather that comes along during those holiday months.
