I love Lee Jeans. Truly, I do. I've worn them since I was a young girl. What I like about them is that they fit my curves, and they're super comfortable. I've been fortunate enough to be able to review some of their more recent items and am so impressed with how the brand has evolved. They come in a variety of fits and styles. I just saw on their Facebook page the other day that Lee even has sweaters now, and they're beautiful.

Lee is rather active on Facebook. In fact, they're hosting a chat this Thursday afternoon from noon to 2:00pm Central time to talk about finding the perfect jean fit for your body. The folks at Lee know that finding jeans that fit can be an incredibly daunting task, and they're bringing in their Trend Manager, Rachelle Moley, to help. Rachelle will be on hand to answer all your questions about finding jeans that fit. She'll also give tips on what's hot this season in jeans and will talk about the colors, fits and styles you'll want to be on the lookout for. Rachelle's main job at Lee is to scope out the latest trends and to make sure those trends are incorporated into Lee styles each season.

So come by the Lee "Find Your Fit" live Facebook chat Thursday at noon Central to find out all the inside denim secrets and trends for this fall and to learn how to finally find that great fit for you. I'll definitely be there!

You may remember that not very long ago, I shared some information about a very fun contest Hershey's has going on. Well, guess what? There's still time to enter. If you head over to the Hershey's Facebook page, you can see the official contest rules and to upload a photo of your special S'mores memory.

Plus, you can also download a coupon for $1 off any 2 Hershey's milk chocolate bar 6-packs.

We are loving our S'mores this summer. My little guy had his very first one this summer at Grandma's cookout and has been begging for them ever since. Here's a picture of him eating his first S'more.

And check out this video of my kids showing you how we make S'mores since we don't have a fire pit outside.

Making S'mores in the microwave can get pretty messy, but we don't mind. Here are some photos of the kids getting gooey.

We don't think it's fun unless you end up with a mess.

Wanna win a S'mores pack of your own so that you can share the messy goodness with your family? Just leave a comment below telliing me where you like to eat S'mores. A U.S. winner will be chosen at random sometime after noon EST on Friday, August 12th.

Recently, I took a break from Twitter. Yes.  Really.  On purpose.  I did.  It was a little experiment, and I learned a lot. Although I love Twitter and enjoy all of the amazing interactions I'm able to have through this application, I began to feel like I was missing out on other things by focusing exclusively on Twitter for my social networking.

As a mom of three, my time is very limited. I realize the importance of utilizing social media as a means of staying in touch with others of similar interests, reaching out to potential readers, and locating a number of resources and opportunities.  For this reason, I felt good in the fact that I was spending time each morning with my Twitter friends.  Then it hit me - my reach had become vastly smaller by interacting in only one medium, during one time of day.

I realized I was missing out on so many other online activities I enjoy.  So I made the decision to quit Twitter cold turkey. For a week and a half. And I learned alot about the way I want to structure my time in the future.  I spent time with my Google reader, Facebook, and on the phone with my real-life friends, and I enjoyed myself immensely.

Boy, was I glad to catch up with some of my favorite blogs. It felt like I was finding out what was happening in the lives of old friends.  I was really pleased to be able to read the blogs of some of my best online friends.  I can't believe how far behind I had gotten.  But that happens in life; I know that.  I've had conversations with bloggers recently regarding hurt feelings surrounding lack of comments or people not visiting their blogs. I hate to hear that.  I know we all try, but we have to focus on all aspects of our lives, and there are only so many hours in the day.

Facebook was fun for me because I got to connect to aspects of my life I hadn't considered in years! I found college buddies, sorority sisters, and pals from high school and childhood.  How great it was to see pictures of them and their families.  I was able to catch up through Facebook's chat feature and connect with some people I hadn't thought about in ages.  I even found out my ex-husband has a Facebook account.  Maybe this will be a new way for us to coordinate our schedules! I wonder if anyone else uses Facebook in quite this manner?

Catching up with my real-life girlfriends was awesome. My friends are all scattered in different directions now, and it's hard to keep track sometimes.  But they've all got some amazing things happening in their lives, and it was so good to feel connected to them again.  It's so easy for me to get caught up in what's going on immediately around me.  I know I've neglected certain things.  As a matter of fact, through connecting with one of my girlfriends, something beyond words happened - something that caused my online world and my offline world to internsect in a totally unexpected way. I promise I'll clue you in on this development soon.  Keep your eyes open for that.

The moral of this story is that it's important not to put all your social networking eggs in one basket.  Take a look at your online habits and assess what's working for you and what may need some tweaking. Please let me know if you've found yourself in a similar situation - I'd love to hear your story!
