Happy Mardi Gras! We could call if Fat Tuesday, but why would we when we can be fancy and keep the 's' in Gras silent?! This holiday is French in origin, so it makes sense that the hub of the hullabaloo is down in New Orleans. (I seriously can't wait to visit that...
Two of the biggest parts of who I am come from my past experiences and my sources of inspiration. Obviously, past experiences shape us into the person we currently are, but sometimes we forget about those external factors that encourage us to evolve. Sometimes my...

One of the things that I admire the most about my cat is that he's always getting into new things, even though he never leaves the house. Since he was rescued, he's been a completely indoor cat. Sometimes my dad will carry him outside to wave goodbye to me as I leave,...
