Question of the Week: What’s Your Favorite Summer Memory?

To tell you the truth, fall is my favorite season. But still there’s something about summer that brings out the dreamer in me.

Link Roundup: Oh What Fun

Life’s a Beach and Then You Die: Why Accepting Others Is So Hard

It was bound to happen sometime, and now it’s official. Skyla is a murderer. For those of you who follow me on Twitter, you know Skyla has a thing for eating bugs.
