    The Bookworm Sez0

    You’ve gone through four boxes of treats this month. Four, five, seven snackies each day, and your dog still doesn’t do what you’re trying to teach him.

  • Food Fight0

    There are lots of areas in which my husband and I have a difference of opinion. I think we should be able to park our cars in our garage. He doesn’t particularly care if the cars are in there or not. He is of the opinion that every cardboard box we own should be squirreled

  • Victorian Blouses0

    Lately, I’ve been seeing an uptick in frilly, awe-inspiring pieces from fashion outlets. Things like ruffled baby doll dresses and twirl-worthy skirts, which, personally, I’ll take the latter but leave off the former. This also means that Victorian-era-inspired tops are semi-trending.

    Last in Line0

    I interrupt your regularly scheduled column writing to fill you in on what the heck happened last week on the 9-11 ride. First off, Kenzy told me a lot of different people were pointing at her and waving. She noticed it a lot, and it’s so funny that I said, “Watch for the pink helmet.”
