I have a sparkly costume for the Assistance League of San Bernardino’s upcoming Route 66: Life’s Highway, and am thankful to also have a sponsor for it. My costume sponsor is Tri-County Dental Society and they are a very special organization. Tri-County serves dentists in San Bernardino, Riverside and Los Angeles counties. Tri-County provides support to the community through their dentists who treat patients. They answer dental practice questions, help with ethical considerations and patient complaints. Tri-County is also a huge advocate of dental professionals volunteering in each county, and always encourage more volunteerism. Because the Headdress Ball primarily raises funds for a dental clinic, I’m super-duper happy about this sponsorship. When a...

I’m not a mommy blogger. If you’ve read a few of my blog posts, this is not new information. But, I stumbled across an entire group of non-baby blogging ladies and have joined their ranks. Let me be clear. I love kids. They are fun. I”m creative & playful, so they tend to love me back. But I have not been blessed with any children. I couldn’t give any great advice on how to raise children from first hand experience. I have no funny kid stories. I do volunteer for a couple organizations who assist children – some are abandoned or abused children – others are from low-income families, who are uninsured and in need of assistance. I’m pretty passionate about kids causes. I also have 7 furkids… well, one has...
