From vegan cooking to scuba diving…
Thanksgiving is a HUGE holiday for my family. No, we don’t celebrate it to revere a group of people that arrived in a new world and took advantage of the indigenous people. Thanksgiving is a day of Thanks, in my family, and that means spending it together and being thankful for each other. So when…
Over the next couple of weeks, my blog may be ugly or malformed at times. 😄 I am having someone look into changing the look and layout as it seems to only work correctly in the Chrome browser. All other browsers and on mobile it falls apart. So please be patient while we work through…
