I used to pride myself on being such a practical, organized witch. Since I started this blog almost one year ago, I have always looked forward to sitting down at my desk to write to you. I still do.
After pouring myself a hot, strong, and black cup of coffee, I would usually light a long-awaited [...]

I can’t walk past one [...]
I washed my mother-in-law down the shower drain today. Not all of her, exactly. There are several aspects of Mother Bean that I admire.
