Simple Elegance
A BEAUTIFUL ADORNMENT FOR MY LITTLE WRIST I got this Ralph Lauren bracelet at Macy’s, but can’t find the same style (or at least a similar style) anywhere on the Web. Aside from it just being so darn pretty, it’s a perfect fit for my tiny wrists, seeing as I have to push most of [...]
Dear Kids, If you Xerox Your Butt at Sunday School, You’ll Have to Answer to Your Father
