I love free stuff, and I love passing along information about free stuff. So, you can imagine how much I loved finding this free emergency medical ID wallet card from MedIDs.com.
Sure, you could probably find various kinds of free emergency medical ID wallet cards in a thousand other places, but I like this one because […]

Well, it turned out to be a lovely event! The weather was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and aside from a crowd of skateboarding teenagers (who eventually moved on to skate somewhere else […]

My calendar tells me it’s…*drum roll please*… Earth Day! Yay!
Among my many passions (music, reading, writing, respecting grammar and the English language - I’m a nerd, I know - animals, and mental health) is being kind to the earth. And, indulging and advocating for my passions always gives my mental state a little boost in […]
