by Victoria Mason March 27, 2013 Fashion

I don’t mean to sound like a pansy (Why do we have this saying? Those flowers are some hardy little suckers!) but I’m pretty sure the lion in March is still roaring and the lamb is quaking in some corner somewhere not even close to coming out. It’s Spring. Yet, we had a snow day [...]

by Michelle March 15, 2013 Entertainment

As a child who was raised without cable TV, I looked forward to viewing a few events on commercial broadcast television every year. “The Wizard of Oz” was a classic that I waited for with great excitement, and each year’s viewing never disappointed.
