I tell my children that I love them every day. Loudly, proudly, and with soft whispers as they drift off to sleep. I show my children that I love them through service. I wash their stacks of bottles and clothes, prepare healthy meals that they sometimes (okay, often) refuse to eat, and change their diapers

If you told me nine years ago about a Hunger Games prequel, I’d be booking my spot for its midnight release at Borders Books. I first devoured The Hunger Games Trilogy as an 18-year-old (back in the final glory days of Borders). Suzanne Collins’s dystopian world immediately ensnared me.

I present to you this list of hilarious titles about serious topics, in honor of one particularly choice incident when I laughed at a

According to Dictionary.com, Buddhism is “a religion […] holding that life is full of suffering caused by desire and that the way to end this suffering is through enlightenment that enables one to halt the endless sequence of births and deaths to which one is otherwise subject.” That’s a whole lot to take in.

I was 15 when I first saw The Day After Tomorrow on a class field trip. For those of you that haven’t seen the classic, Dennis Quaid plays a sexy climatologist who’s been largely ignored for his theories around climate change. Of course, he’s inevitably proven right and he spends most of the film trying

I first became aware of Little Free Libraries perhaps seven or eight years ago, which means that I have wanted one of my very own for nearly a decade. I even know exactly where I’d put it (there’s a small local park that would be perfect). Once I’d set up my dream library, I would
