Ah, summer…those poolside/beach-y days in our lounge chairs, soaking up the rays…those quiet nights, listening to the crickets, looking at the stars, or watching the fireflies (as a kid, I imagined that if I listened closely enough, I could hear the fireflies switching their little lights on and off, on and off…). The perfect companion?…

Red,White and Blue Strawberries Ingredients: 2 lbs of strawberries, washed and…
I’m so glad you all got a kick out of yesterday’s post, where I talked about the wacky Mother’s Day gift suggestion Amazon sent me. (Pole-dancing lessons would be considered a crazy Mother’s Day gift, right? Based on some of your comments yesterday, I’m not so sure, LOL). But we’re not done yet! Today, Amazon emailed…
