This is my second post to the Smile photo challenge. These are some of the pictures I’ve taken since my son was born that I cannot help but smile to. Go ahead, and try not to smile! Smile.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Awakening
This week’s photo challenge, Awakening, evokes images of tiny delicate flowers poking up through garden beds and in brownish-green lawns. Many of my fellow northeastern residents are longing for this! This winter has been particularly harsh and long-lasting. It just seems like Mother Nature has not gotten the memo that it is April, not February. Many…
Book Review: Red Clocks by Leni Zumas

Daily Word Prompt: Swallow
Have you ever wondered what exactly is in the pill you’re swallowing? What chemical is used for that easy-to-swallow coating? What is mixed with ibuprofen or acetaminophen that we can’t see?
