I have a new favorite dress.
I sort of feel like I’m “cheating” when I wear it to work (or, um, when I sleep in it, and THEN wear it to work) because it is technically a fabulous running dress.
I’ve worn my Nuu-Muu dress over yoga pants, leggings, and bike shorts.

I have never been much for goal setting and that kind of thing, but at school, Jojo is on a “behavior plan” in which his teacher created a list of prompts to help him make wise choices.

I had the opportunity to interview Jenette McCurdy who plays Sam on the Nickelodeon TV show iCarly.
