No-Shave November is a great cause. Seriously, anything that raises awareness of and funding toward cancer research is a great program as far as I'm concerned. That being said, I'm not a fan, ha!

It often turns into scratchy hair and misplaced food particles, getting progressively worse as the month goes on, ha!.

So, ladies, I ask you... Yay or Nay when it comes to YOUR man participating in No-Shave November?

The Mountain Workshops have done an amazing job documenting so many great stories about our Owensboro community. I came across one today and I already knew who it was. Well, I don't personally know this family, but I have followed their story, like so many others have, thru social media.

T-bird is an 11 year-old Owensboro boy, who has been fighting brain cancer since 2009. His battle has been, to be honest, painful to watch. As a mother, when I see the stories of these innocent children, I can't help but think of their parents and how hard it must for them.

"One Eye Open" allows you inside the life of T-Bird's Mom and the daily struggles she faces while caring for her son.

This thing will work out your entire body.  I am not kidding.  I was on this thing for about 30 seconds and I broke into a sweat.  At opening day of the Kentucky State Fair last week, I happened across the Euro Body Shaper and thought I would give it a try.  Honestly, I thought it would make a really funny video for the web and that I would look like a complete fool.  I knew my behind was going to shake like I was working for the Chippendales, but I was okay with it.  What I didn't expect was a ridiculously hard and calorie-burning workout.  WATCH!
