March 24th, 2017
In my Bloggiversary post of October 2016 I may have mentioned some things that had changed dramatically in my life over a year's time and would call for "a complete overhaul of my bio".

Motherhood Milestones by Andrea Santo Felcone
March 15th, 2017
I have this candle that has tried to define me. It was given to my parents by what I assume was a well-meaning Aunt, as a present (for me) on the day I was born. I think she was my Mother’s Aunt through marriage, or maybe just through time and ...
