In Search of… a catch phrase
I’m fairly new to the whole blogging experience; however, I’m starting to think I should have a blog catch phrase…something to repeatedly end each blog. Because, frankly, after a week, my blogs have absolutely no consistency of topic. So....I am in search of a catch...
Make it or Break it…. the modern day Wizard of Oz
Today, my favorite guilty pleasure was just renewed for another season. Yay! There are so many reasons why Make It or Break It is a brilliant show… but for those of you who are not die-hard fans like I am, I’ll break it down into a simple analogy. Make it or Break it...
