Quilted with Love
Recently I learned that my Aunt Mary died. I realized that three of the six children in her family have now passed away—including my mother, Uncle Tom and now Aunt Mary.

Never Going to the Store Again! Groupon Goods to the Rescue
This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are mine. With back to school in full swing Goupon Goods is the first app I am checking out.
