she uses tangerines…
The moment one of my high school best friends, Tami, shook out her pony tail on the school bus and revealed silky, light blond hair with beautiful pastel pink steaks I knew that life was not fair. For as long as I could remember (in high school freshman time, that would be weeks) I had […]

So, for Valentine’s Day or any weekend we want to make special, doughnuts are on our mind. […]
for you rainbow infused space unicorns
Amy Poehler is the idol, role model, person I respected and wished I had around for all the times in my childhood when I could hear crickets when asked to “write about someone you admire.” I always wondered how all the other kids in my class seemed to have…heros? It was weird to me. Then […]
