Keep Those Emotions Away From Me…
For some girls, our comfort zone falls into the, "Ew, get those emotions away from me," category. We're not heartless.

Book Club Twofer…
Book Club Dolls--this month we get a twofer. Did your heart just beat faster? Another local author, and friend, wrote two books on diabetes. One on derailing the disease and the other, a cookbook.
