Today Chicagoland Jimmy John’s had $1 subs and I was all about it. Thinking I was so smart I went to JJ at 2:30, a half hour before the deal ended. Turned out to not be smart at all. This is the line that greeted me. I didn’t even get out of the car. I [...]
I really enjoy wrapping presents. I have been the Braun Family designated Christmas gift wrapper for many years and I have actually learned to enjoy it. Through all the ribbons, paper and cards, though, I never thought of using a fabric wrap like the ones at Chewing The Cud. Reasonably priced and reusable, plus they [...]

Oh my word. Did you see this video? These girls are seven years old. I repeat, seven years old. Holy inappropriate. This makes me terrified to have children. I blame Miley Cyrus. Source: everywhere
My friend sent me a link today to Sseko Designs (pronounced \say-ko\) and I might just have to invest in a pair of their sandals. So what if I have absolutely no room in my closet for them, it’s for a good cause! The shoes are made by women in Uganda and all the straps [...]
Hey guys, sorry you haven’t heard from me in awhile. I managed to get some sort of nasty food poisoning or flu bug, so I’ve been spending some quality time with 7Up and ice chips as of late. I will be bravely attempting my first piece of solid food shortly…wish me luck. You probably won’t [...]
