Artificial Vs. Real Christmas Trees
Monday, December 1st, 2008When I was a little girl, I used to lay beneath the Christmas tree and feel both happy and sad. At the end of the holiday season, it broke my heart and made me cry when we walked the dried out Christmas tree to the curb. I vowed to never do that to [...]
Epicurean Cutting Surfaces
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008It seems kind of silly to get excited about something like a cutting board but I am currently experiencing at least some form of mild elation with my new Epicurean cutting board.

Sennheiser Twist-To-Fit In-Ear Headphones
