    I have a weakness for basically any romance set in England, so it’s no surprise that I chose a Hester Browne book for March. I wanted something light and easy to read, because I knew work was going to be very busy. The Runaway Princess was exactly what the doctor ordered. Dinner with princes and…

    With a winter storm scheduled to hit Kansas City this last weekend, I knew I needed to be prepared, so I stocked up on wine from Royal Liquor (and brownies). I take winter preparedness very seriously. If you’re unfamiliar with Royal Liquor, it’s located at 103rd and State Line in Kansas City, Missouri. Their resident…

    After just a few days as a vegeterian, I can officially tell you it is hard, and it’s not because the food isn’t good – it really is. The difficult part, for me at least, is the planning. I knew I wanted to launch this experiment in March, but for some reason, I didn’t prepare well. The…

    So, I’m two for two. I finished the second book in my year of reading. This resolution just might happen. I ended up reading, The Weird Sisters, a great little book told in an interesting voice for February. It took me a little while to get into the flow of the story. The narrator is sort…

    I’ve always loved Valentine’s Day. It is, in fact, my favorite holiday. I know it’s commercially created and completely made-up. I’ve heard it all. Blah, blah, blah. I don’t care. To me, there is something nice about a day dedicated to showing the people you love that you care about them. Really, what’s wrong with…
