If something reads the same backwards as it does left to right, that is called a palindrome. As we saw last week in “Weird Words,” palindromes can be numerical — like all the dates from 5/20/25 through 5/29/25. Of course, those work only if you overlook the slashes, which is what most palindromers do —
Don’t touch! You tell a toddler that something’s hot, don’t touch, a dozen times but you know they’ve got to learn it on their own. The lesson is set when they put fingers to the fire and ouch. That’s how many of us learn to steer clear of flames while, as in the new book
Not going to lie. I’m not huge on vacations. I don’t love not being away from home. Mostly because I am a high-maintenance sleeper. One, I just want my own bed, and leaving my bed is a sacrifice. Two, everything I need to bring with me in order to sleep “decently” is kinda a pain,
While a great heel will always have its place, who amongst us really wants to be tottering around in high heels during the hazy days of summer?

Personal fragrance comes in many forms and, for my money, is the final touch on any outfit. While I’m a firm believer in having a signature scent, I also think the change of season lends itself to switching out your go-to perfume for a fresh musk to match your warmer-weather looks.

Oh, what a mess! Quick, grab a broom and get to work. There’s dirt here and, ugh, something liquid spilled everywhere. Careful you don’t track it around or you’ll just make it worse. Seems like you’re the source of the mess, and in the new book “Earthly Materials” by Cutter Wood, it’s unpleasant but totally
Here we are in the last week of May, and June starts on Sunday. Folks, how on earth did we get here? How are we almost six months through the year? I feel like I just packed my Christmas stuff up yesterday. I didn’t, haha, but it feels that way with how fast time is
Then I will teach transgressors your ways, so that sinners will turn back to you. Psalm 51:13 King David and the apostle Paul had one terrible thing in common — they were both murderers. King David murdered Uriah, and Paul murdered Stephen. David didn’t shoot the arrow, and Paul didn’t throw the stone, but both
