I find this to be a very interesting idea: Cities Offering to Pay Student Debt to Gain Young Residents. 6 Ridiculous Lies You Believe About the Founding of America. I knew most of these, though I didn't realize plague killed off such a crazy large percentage of Native...
I tried to get a picture of the taco all folded up nice, but then you couldn't see anything/it just kept flopping open. So open-face taco picture for you all! We had this for dinner last night (and I had for lunch today - woo leftovers!). If you're wanting to jazz up...

This wonderful, magical animation drawn with crayons: Crayon Dragon Comes to Life. For the freelancers/self-employed, three good reads: How to Accomplish More by Doing Less, Death by Hourly Wage, and It Doesn't Get Better, You Do. Favorite quote: "I don’t charge by...
I had planned on reserving my business spotlight features for local Austin businesses, but I'll make an exception for this one. Meet reFORM Studios, a personal training business in Charleston, South Carolina. It's owned by none other than my big sis, Katrina, who is...
The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh I'd heard some buzz about this book on Twitter a few months ago, so when I found myself in the airport in need of something to read, I picked this up. And I'm so glad I did. The book is told from the point of view of...
