Dear Beyonce…

I’m pretty much a fan of anything Beyonce does, but the other day when I was rocking out to Pandora, one of her old songs, “Cater 2 U” (her dumb spelling, not mine), came on and I kinda wanted to kick her. The song is all about women caring for their men to the extent … Continue reading →

A Baker’s Dozen Worth of Reasons Why I Love My Husband

I’m kind of a project.

Fast and easy recipes, faster and easier exercises, immaculate homes scrubbed down with all-natural cleansers, long, flowing hair that takes only six seconds to achieve–I CAN’T TAKE IT ANY MORE!
