“Let’s start at the very beginning… a very good place to start…” Remember that song from The Sound of Music? At least I think that’s where it’s from… anyway, I have a vision of Mr. Von Trapp and Maria enjoying a beautiful bedroom moment in the Swiss Alps, at least until all the kids come [...]

A T-shirt designed by her favorite band $25. “OMG OMG mom, shut up! A T-shirt designed by The Shins? WHERE did you find this?!?!” Things you should know first: 1.
