Christmas Lights

The Osborne Spectacle of Lights

By //  by Candace Sampson

I had heard of The Osborne Spectacle of Lights before but off in the periphery, not really paying attention to it, and like a boob I thought it had something to do with Ozzy Osborne.

Jennings Osborne of Little Rock, Arkansas, started his Christmas display …

Chicago

By //  by Candace Sampson

Sometimes, you just need to get away.....from your kids....and your husband. Believe me, you are a better mother and wife for it. Or at least that's what you can say to justify it. Mommy needs a break. Mommy DESERVES a break. So grab your besties and plan a weekend. Here is a perfect weekend escape to Chicago....or Chickago as my friends and I have dubbed it. We even had t-shirts made. We're kind of crazy that way. Affinia Chicago This boutique hotel is located a block from the Magnificent …
