Spring Fashion Preview

Around here, spring is in full bloom. This winter has been long, bringing with it weeks of steady rainy and feet of snow.

In Honor of Women

As a little girl, I had a favorite movie. In it the main character- marched for women’s suffrage, took over the work in place of her husband’s injury, and fought for children’s working rights. She was Mrs. Santa Claus. ⁣
