How to Combat Summer’s Deadly Sins

by Nicole MacPherson

  I remember that day like it was yesterday: the summer heat was over, and I traded my seasonal stretchy skirts for jeans. It soon became apparent that summery, stretchy skirts hide a multitude of pounds, because I had to jump around like Kriss Kross to get my jeans over my hips, and the button, …

Fun Weekend Project: Vintage Map on Wood

by Life In Pleasantville

You’ve seen the Pinterest posts telling us how to make things with scrap pieces of wood, or leftover pallets, or barn boards.

How to Fix Sun Damaged Skin – An Action Plan for Former Sunworshippers

by Candace Sampson

If only I’d listened to my mother, I wouldn’t be frantically trying to fix sun damaged skin. She warned me relentlessly that some day I would regret my sun worshipping ways, but did I listen?

Prince and His Purple Reign Live On

by Kelly Given Williams

I was dreamin’ when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray. It does kind of feel like a dream, a bad one. Prince died yesterday and as of this moment, all we have is speculation.
