You know I’m crunchy AF, so it won’t shock you that my favorite holiday is Earth Day. Every year I try to do something a little greener to celebrate, and this year I’m going big. I’m breaking up with plastic. That’s right, I’m kicking it to the curb…in a big blue recycling bin. Here’s one…
Say “No Thanks” to the Coronavirus
My hubby always says there’s only one person you can control and that’s yourself. With all the crazy misinformation about the coronavirus and everyone guessing what’s going to happen and what are we going to do, a Type A person like me needs to feel some control.
