Things I don’t do.

Some of you seem to think I’m super woman. I get comments on Facebook, the blog, and in person. I’m not sure what sparks this. Maybe my crafts? Blogging? Cooking? Whatever it is, I should tell you that it’s not true. And while I would love to bask in that glory, I need to debunk [...]
