Saying Goodbye to All My Children

I heard the news yesterday on twitter.  All My Children and One Life To Live will no long be…they’ve been cancelled.  I think I may have shed a tear or two at the thought of not being able to turn on AMC at 2 pm.  I didn’t watch it daily, heck, I didn’t even watch [...]

Sleep Time Tips from Johnson’s Baby

Ahh, the sweet, calming smell of Lavender, my favorite part of cracking open a brand new bottle of Johnson’s Baby Shampoo. Yes, I buy the Lavender.
