When we moved in to our former 1890s Victorian, it was bright yellows with white trim and accents in cranberry ...
Nice to see the talented and always helpful people at Yee-Haw getting some more attention. Oh, how I miss popping into that great little letterpress shop during my weekly errands!
I go between Mooncup and non-applicator OBs. The cup is fine for home and work, but I usually turn to the OBs when traveling (I'm beginning to think it's the only globally available tampon) and dur...
Buy the house only if it has good bones, you can easily afford to pay 50% more than the initial quotes to renovate the house, are very good with a budget, are willing to make design and material co...
