Read Anything Good Lately?

I have.  Devon O'Brien is one to watch.  The first post in her series, "Of Lice and Men" just arrived at the Huffington Post this morning.

140 characters are fun- I love Twitter.  Facebook is terrific for keeping up to date.  Tumblr is beautiful to look at.

Lately, however, I realize I have been longing for the craftsmanship of a true wordsmith.  The power and color of words have disappeared in a world of bits and bites.

If you are looking for a something more- something to luxuriate in, laugh with, cry possibly- then I suggest you read some of Devon's pieces on the Huff.  

Take your time, and enjoy her words as they move seamlessly over the screen.

And, please, if you have read anything good lately I would love for you to let me know.

The Best Deals, Info and a Little Inspiration

Hello.  My name is Laura Wallis, and welcome to my blog!  I am a mom always on the lookout for good deals, tips, and the best info on the web.  For many years, my friends have called me "Laura 411" or "Laura.com" so I must be onto something.  I also like to throw in a bit of inspiration in the mix here and there.

Hope you stop by frequently, and feel free to contact me with anything you think I'd like to share.


Speaking of, a friend just shared this with me...
