My teenager loves poetry right now, and I'm super grateful for it. There was a while when poetry drew a lot of eye-rolling, especially if it meant Shakespeare. The kid loathes Shakespeare, even though we've been to several plays and my teen was in one of them.

My family has two sets of masks for each of us, which is starting to not be enough--especially if I forget to wash them or my husband needs to swap them when they get wet, which they do in a hot warehouse after many hours of working. So we're looking for some new ones, and as cat lovers, I thought we'd get some masks with cats on them.
Now that face masks are needed all across the nation, many of us are finding or making some really cool, individualized ones, including masks that feature our favorite bands like the Grateful Dead. There are some really neat patterns out there to make masks out of if you want to do so, too.
Summertime is here, and with it comes sweaty drinks! My tea and iced coffee drinks are constantly drip, drip, dripping, which makes me in dire need of some coasters around here. I thought I might check some cool DIY methods of coaster making to solve my dilemma.
By now, you're doing your civic duty and wearing a mask, right? Unless you have a legitimate medical excuse for not wearing one, you should definitely wear one outside your home. The good news is that lots of people are making them featuring your favorite characters, like the ones from Family Guy!

Tonight my mom was baffled by people who refuse to wear masks. We discussed it on the phone, and while we're often at opposite political sides, we both agreed mask wearing is very necessary right now. My mom says there's no way people think this is political and that they must just be vain, not wishing to cover their faces.
Last week we discussed how we don't just vote for a candidate because she's a woman, but this week I wanted to point out that we still celebrate women who achieve their dreams, especially those who break through glass ceilings and make milestones. Take Lieutenant Junior Grade (LTJG) Swegle, for example.
Spirit shops are popping up like wildflowers and I'm here for it! Trick R Treat has been more popular in recent years, and the shop has several Sam items for sale once again.
