Sadly, on Friday, actress Bonnie Franklin passed away after her battle with pancreatic cancer - she was 69. Bonnie is probably best remembered for playing 'Ann Romano' on the CBS sitcom 'One Day at a Time.' The show was a huge part of my childhood. My mom, like Ann, had red hair, I wanted to look just like Valerie Bertinelli and the story took place in Indiana. It was also my first glimpse of a woman who was divorced. (I know...crazy, but true) Little did I know, that someday, I would be just like her.

If you are like me, coffee is a HUGE part of your daily routine. Personally, if I don't have it, I am a zombie - just ask my husband how I looked over the weekend when we visited my parents and they only had DECAF!!! It was frightening!!!

The only coffee better than caffeinated coffee is FREE Starbucks coffee. And here is how you can get yours!

Rarely do you find something that is good AND good for you - or, something that will help you that you will want more of and it won't make you gain weight. The 'Your Man Reminder' app is just such a thing. I know it sounds like an anti-cheating app perhaps but NO, it's about something much more important.

I am a member of Sam's Club. Quenton and I are addicted to the enormous packages of toilet paper and paper towels. Don't laugh, I know you are too! (LOL) Another thing I really like is the every other month magazine they send to their members called, 'Healthy Living Made Simple.' On the cover this month, Carrie Underwood. Inside, Carrie revealed her reason for not eating beef and I immediately thought of a story from my childhood.

You know how you are just browsing statuses on Facebook and suddenly something hits you? You read something or see something you didn't expect? Well, that is exactly what happened to me when I saw this incredible video.

I pride myself on the kind hearts of my children. While raising them, I ALWAYS tried to instill a sense of empathy toward others. I am happy to say they are all very giving and nonjudgmental individuals. I really want them to have a 'What would Jesus do?' mentality. In our world today, it's hard to teach that kind of love. But, that's not going to stop me. And, it shouldn't stop you either.

When I saw this video, I was outraged!! And YOU will be too. But, after we clench our fists in anger, grit our teeth and shake our head, we must stand back and remember to teach love.

Ever since I can remember, we danced at my house. My mom would step touch, step touch to the radio while keeping the beat by making a sound with her lips a tongue and snap her fingers. I know now why she put me in dance lessons at the age of five - she wanted me to have better mom dance moves. But after becoming a mom myself, I realize that all moms have the SAME moves. ;-)

It's almost SPRING!!! You know, how I know? As I was driving into work this morning, I saw hints of a beautiful sunrise. Now, I know what you're thinking, 'Leslie, how did that tell you Spring is here? The sun rises EVERYDAY!' Yes, I know! But for me, it doesn't.

I was just waiting for a country artist to do a 'Harlem Shake' video at a concert. I thought it would be Luke Bryan or maybe Brad Paisley. But no, it was Scotty McCreery!!!

If you haven't heard of the Harlem Shake, you must be living in a cave. It is EVERYWHERE! The dance craze that mixes pounding techno music, funny costumes, video editing and odd dance moves has been played out at schools, offices (including ours! lol), basketball games and malls. Who knew it would also end up at a redneck party and camp out? I DID!!! LMAO!!!

Today is our final day of the 2013 3rd Annual St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Radiothon. Many on our staff have traveled to St. Jude to see and experience the love, caring and magic that is St. Jude.

The hospital, located in Memphis TN is the result of Danny Thomas making a promise. As a struggling young actor, Danny prayed to the Patron Saint of Lost Causes - St. Jude. He promised that if the saint would take care of him and his family, he would build a shrine in his honor. The shrine would be a hospital for needy children, where they would be cared for regardless of race, religion or ability to pay, where no suffering child would EVER be turned away. Now, Danny's children continue to keep that promise.
