Protected: Can I Take A Moment To Vent?

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.


Ah Christmas

hat a great Christmas we had this year for Zara’s first! We opted to stay in PA rather than making the trek to LA to be with the rest of the family. The house was decorated (inside and out), the tree trimmed, and the presents bought. Even Personalized Creations came through for us, after my [...]

Greetings of the season to you and yours!

Thoroughly Modern…

But here’s the evidence:

Keep the faith, my friends. Good things can and do happen if you open yourself up to alternate [...]


What’s A Feminist To Do At Christmas?

ear readers,
Here I am doing my best to get my holiday vibe on, when The Man has to go messing with my head. (What man? I don’t know. Some man. Or maybe some woman. OK, I’ll just say Somebody. Now back to the problem).
So what am I ranting about this time? Well I’m all about [...]
