Now You Can Buy A Wedding Dress at Your Local Target

Target has announced that they will be offering wedding gowns, with dresses ranging from $99.99 to $129.99, sizes 2 to 28, in their stores and online.

This news doesn't surprise me much. After all, Target is already on most brides' must stop shops list, for their registry and supplies. Why wouldn't they start selling affordable bridal wear to their bridal customers?

American Red Cross Needs Our Help: Oklahoma Tornado

During times of disaster I prefer to make my donations directly to American Red Cross Disaster Relief. People can either donate by visiting Red Cross, calling 1-800-RED CROSS or texting the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation.

One can also donate blood at their Red Cross or local blood donation center.

What Would Brian Boitano Make? Cookbook ~HuffPostLive

Just in case you haven't seen What Would Brian Boitano Make, on Food Network, he's written a cookbook! So I decided to catch him on HuffPostLive today.

He shared some of his favorite tips like, keeping it simple, fresh and easy. Brian says his cookbook is for every phase of cook, from the novice to the advanced home cook.

He even responded to one of my questions about salad dressing. Brian likes using the juices from olives and peperoncini, in a vinaigrette dressing, for a kick. I'm definitely going to give that a try!

After watching, I decided to make his Hot Italian Sausage Panini this weekend, for my guys.

Have You Discovered Coronation Street on Hulu Plus?

My love of the show started last year after reading about it on a British blog. I was intrigued I immediately headed to YouTube, did a search, and watched several episodes in a weekend. I was officially hooked!

"Coronation Street", a British soap opera, has been on since the '60s. I love the working class characters, their community, and The Rovers~the pub. I may need to look up a lot of the lingo but the story lines translate well.

If you live in the US, Hulu Plus is now airing episodes!

"I'm Done With My College Course"! Off To Work He Goes

Our son, Marcus has completed his first semester of college courses last week, returned his books and is now busy working his grocery store job. My husband and I are very proud!

It's also a thrill for us that he actually found a job, that will work around his school schedule and within walking distance of our apartment in this rough economy.

Congrats Marcus!

Jumping Tandem Sunday~ Be Strong and Courageous

When my husband shared with me that his friend has Stage 4 cancer I immediately hugged and comforted him. Then I decided to search for a bible verse that would bring some comfort and healing to his heart.
