I've made many in my life and career, and now I’m making another leap.

Janet Mock Will Emcee Voices of the Year at #BlogHer17

by Elisa Camahort

3 Great Gift Ideas for Grandma

by nataliebracco

If you're a kid, it's always enjoyable to think up the perfect gift for grandma. Her unconditional kindness is absolutely lovable. When you hear stories about grandma being strict and angry, it is hard to believe. She's always neutral and sometimes even on your side when you fight with your parents. She is always so happy to see you and the rest of the gang! She deserves to smile, and that's why hunting for a gift for grandma is an extra special one!   Read more >
