Hi Gen*HER! It’s been ages, did anyone miss me? I apologize for being gone so long – I’ve been swamped with projects and travel and … because apparently things happen in threes around here … along with Jessie and Heather, I TOO bought a house! LOL. I decided to look at all the meticulous planning the
I thought acne was for teens?
Maybe time has altered my memories but I swear that in some grade school health class where changes to our soon to be adolescent bodies were discussed, acne was presented as something that came along with being a teenager. No one mentioned that acne can be for life. Through experience, I now know that acne
Christmas Crafts: Pinecone Garland
I saw a pinecone garland on a magazine cover somewhere and I can’t even remember where. The point is, when I saw it I knew it was what I needed for my new fireplace mantle. After pricing them and realizing they are literally just pine cones attached to a string I decided that my husband
