A Homeless American Girl
There’s a new American Girl doll on store shelves, but the little girls she represents, likely can’t afford her… that’s because she’s homeless.
“Gwen” is a featured character in the Chrissa books. (Chrissa is a girl starting a new school after moving to Minnesota in 2009 and gets bullied. Her character takes a stand against it, teaching other young girls...
Woah. Fall is here.
Over the past week, the summer packed up and left town. It happened quick.
It’s sort of like a breakup that you don’t see coming. “I thought everything was going okay? But I said I loved you? Is there someone else? Why are you going?”

Layla
I can get a bit impulsive. While I don’t get tattoos… I’ve been known to get bored and dye my hair, get a piercing (don’t get any ideas, they’re just in my ears) and go crazy while shopping. This weekend: I adopted a cat.

Dance.
