The Teal Pumpkin Project

Have you heard about this yet? If not, do you have the internet? (kidding) A fairly new concept, the Teal Pumpkin project is aimed at helping all children enjoy Halloween. I think this is fantastic. I do not personally have any known food allergies but in the past few years it seems to have either become more […]

Halloween!!!

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! I learned I think back in high school the meaning and where is started, but I don’t think I ever learned where and when pumpkin carving came about. While researching the topic I found out that jack-o-lantern’s originate from an Irish folktale. “Stingy Jack” was the nickname of a […]

Jerry Springer is my spirit animal

Why is it that “trash” tv is so entertaining? Personally, it makes me feel more sane and like my life isn’t as screwed up as I sometimes think it is. When I’m feeling down I like to watch these random people who are dumb enough for their fifteen-minutes of fame and get a good laugh […]

It’s Jake from StateFarm…

Is he true? Did his wife murder him for cheating? Wouldn’t that be the most ironic, yet sad story ever! “According to reports,” Jake was found murdered in his apartment. When I originally read this story I think I giggled. Probably not the best response to a reported murder, but it seemed to cheesy to be […]

The great debate

So the question is, what role does the U.S. President have in the legality of abortion. Hmm. Back in the 70’s there was a pretty huge case called Row v Wade. In this case the Supreme Court found that women had “total autonomy over the pregnancy during the first trimester and defined different levels of […]

It’s about time!

It seems like I find so many articles on Facebook and I’m usually curious if they’re true. Especially when I found an article about Sesame Street gaining a new character who has autism. I could barely contain my excitement. It seems like so many people in this day don’t know how to react to a child or even […]

To raise gas prices, or not. That is the question.

I’ve never really thought much about gas prices except to complain when they’re high or celebrate when they’re lower. My parents like to talk about how low prices were when I was a kid or how much lower they were when they were kids, but in my naivety I guess I thought the prices depended […]

October means Breast Cancer Awareness

During the month of October everyone starts to see tons of pink and for as long as I can remember has been Breast Cancer Awareness month which is usually supported by the Susan G Komen foundation. So my question, especially after visiting their webpage and hearing so much about them, is what percent of what is […]

Common vs. Standard

What is this common core math crap?! I have a little sister who is in 4th grade. I was home once while she in probably 2nd grade and was working on her math homework and she asked me for help. First of all, that’s terrifying for her to ask me (I am in no way someone […]

Is organic truly better for you?

I am new to the organic world and have not yet completely converted. Some things are still so convenient even if they might possibly be harmful. I would say it’s a slow process, but a worth while one. I’ve never really thought that my skin was all that sensitive, but as of late (maybe since […]
