Sloan + Themis: Vintage and Repurposed Jewelry
Sometimes my real and online worlds collide and it’s a fabulous thing. That’s what happened last Saturday. My worlds collided and it was all kinds of cool… On Saturdays, The Hubs and I have a routine that involves breakfast, running errands, and wandering the streets of downtown Cape Girardeau.

Miss 17 Goes to Prom
You know how you have a teenage daughter and they sigh and huff at everything because you just don’t get it because you’re only mom and you’ve never been cool? Yeah, last week that was me with Miss 17 as we drove around for 5 and a half hours looking for a Prom dress. Well,…
