Hello from LA!
Hello from LaLaLand! In place of my usual blog post, I’m going Vlog — the video version! Check out Jordan’s interview on the Hallmark Channel USA on Home & Family this Wednesday. We’ll be talking about Cozys for the Cure!
Boy serves kindness with a side of chicken
When my son started bringing home information about his sixth-grade graduation, I thought it was cute. There would be a ceremony and a class party and even some donated prizes. Then I found out some of the parents were giving their children gifts to celebrate the milestone. I am all for using any excuse possible
What day is it?
It just occurred to me I haven’t written in weeks. Well, I have written, I just haven’t written this blog. Wanna hear all my awesome excuses? School got out and I forgot what day of the week it was. And I went on long bike rides with my kids. And I built a second home

I have to remember that just because my comfort zone covers a four ZIP code-area, not everyone is wired the same way. For some people, making eye contact and sending out a genuine smile
One Kind Compliment Changes the Evening
Twenty-one years ago, I met a woman with a beautiful face and an even more beautiful spirit. Her name was Kelly Roarke and she was Miss Rhode Island 1997. I was Miss Wisconsin at the time and we became friends on the stage of the Miss America pageant. I haven’t heard from Kelly in years.

Kindness comforts while dog finds his way home
My dog is lying upside down right now on an oversized chair in my home office. It’s ridiculous to look over and see this 70-pound goldendoodle beast all sprawled out like she owns the place. She does this almost every morning, and it always makes me smile. I never get tired of my constant companion.
