It’s National Pi Day y’all, and if you sit around and talk to my husband enough about pie, he is likely to tell you about the time he tried to teach a Furby to say “Eat more pie.” Today is a great day to follow that suggestion. Whole Foods is offering $3.14 off the costs …
Book Tour: Evanthia’s Gift & Waiting for Aegina
My Big Fat Greek Wedding is one of my favorite classic films. I love the story that is woven in the movie, and I think the family saga is really fascinating.

While a lot of progress for women’s rights …

bit for the release and the celebration of the 2nd birthday of Bella Sunshine Designs*. Raglans make up the basics of a unisex wardrobe – both boys and girls can wear them, and they’re as ubiquitous in closets as are t-shirts and jeans. So when Melissa at Bella Sunshine Designs was looking for someone to test this …
