What's the ABC’s of Small Batch Handcrafted Soap
Even though the countless shopping trips for yet more school supplies are safely in my rear view mirror, I am still left humming the tune from Jackson 5’s hit, ABC, much to the embarrassment of my kiddo! So, it is no surprise that I have been pondering what might be the most important ABC’s of purchasing a small batch, handcrafted soap. Here in Colorado, with artisan rich weekends packed with late summer farmers markets and all kinds of festivals, you can’t wander down a vendor row without seeing a “new to market” artisanal soap enterprise on display! I do enjoy...

If you answered yes to the above question, then you are not alone! I too have ventured down that dark and windy road on more than one occasion.

She opened a bakery...
Soap Opera Suds: Luke and Laura’s Wedding
While it is no longer something I indulge in, watching soap operas took up more than an inordinate amount of my time during high school I am embarrassed to admit. If like me, you were a teenage girl in the early 80’s, you cried through the most watched soap opera episode in history, Luke and Laura’s Wedding (General Hospital). Each day after 4th period, a group of us raced two blocks from school to our classmate’s house to catch “General Hospital” live. Sorry folks, no DVR back in the 80’s! We crowded around the not so oversized and not so flat screen...
