Hi there,

Live with Kelly

Today I got some big news. BIG news! I am one of 20 finalists to co-host Live with Kelly for a day! A nationally syndicated talk show with THEE Kelly Ripa… you know, from Regis and Kelly, or Kelly and Michael. Out of thousands of entries, I was chosen as one of 40 contestants to move forward. And out of those 40, I made the top 20 finalists! Crazy right?! I’m so excited I can barely contain myself. Now, I just need to win it all. And in order to do that, I need your help! It’s time to VOTE. Voting begins today, and ends on Sunday, October 9th. If you have Facebook, you can vote. It’s just one click. Click here to vote, and watch my entry video! Thanks so much for your support.

Are you ready for Fall?

October is here! Wow, is this year flying by or is it just me? The weather is getting chilly, so it’s time to start digging out those sweaters, socks and boots. My number one tip for fall is to make sure you’re not letting your budget fall. When the seasons change, it’s easy to get off track by overspending. Shopping for new clothes, buying too many coffees to stay warm, and preparing for the holidays can be costly. Try re-purposing your summer clothes by layering them and swapping out sandals for boots. And, if you’re in need of some nice sweaters, don’t be scared to hit up the thrift store!

Cider Mill Season

It’s cider mill season! I took a trip to the Franklin Cider Mill and tried something pretty gross.
