Why I Didn't Participate in TOMS #WithoutShoes

Every year TOMS has a one day campaign. This year, for May 5th, TOMS decided that for every instagram picture with the hashtag "WithoutShoes", and a picture of your bare feet, it would donate a pair of free shoes to a child in need....

Here's 3 reasons why i refused to participate.

10 Thoughts While Making Finger Puppets

Last week my sister and I put together an easter basket for the wee-little-one (my niece). It's actually kind of hard putting things into an easter basket for a kid that won't really know what to do with half the stuff in there... but one of the things i decided that would possibly be fun/stimulating(?) for her were homemade felt finger puppets! That, and, let's be real- more fun for me to make. =P

Book Review- A House in the Sky

When I was a kid (before college), I read on average 2 books a week-mystery novels were where it was at.

Packing for Iceland!

It's here! It's finally here! Vacation!

After 5 months of work, tomorrow i'm taking my first grown-up vacation ever! And it's going to be an icelandic adventure!
