Let’s play a game! First we need a list. Women, start with yourself and add seven other women you’re really close to – friends or family members too. Men, list eight women you’re close to – mothers, wives, and daughters count. As you’re thinking of names, imagine their faces. …
One of my favorite things is handcrafted soaps; I’m drawn in by the unique scents and colors you can’t buy in stores, and the all natural ingredients appeal to me too. Every time we went to the Farmer’s Market this summer I had a hard time resisting the soap vendors,…
Every year since I-don’t-know-when our block has a Block Party to coincide with National Night Out. This year was no exception. Our block parties have always been planned by two women who each have plenty of time on their hands and obscene amounts of energy to spare. They plan…
