    I came up with a new home-interior decorating term.You know, like shabby-chic. Only it’s not called shabby-chic, it’s called adorable antique-tacky.

Basically any movie/tv show/music that comes out will be reviewed on this website. BUT the website is a Focus on the Family thing, so the reviews are written from a super-Christian standpoint. Not only do…

    I went to visit my counselor today. I have concluded that as long as you don’t snag a counselor who says, “tell me about your suppressed childhood memories” it really isn’t that big of a deal to go see a counselor. All you do is talk about your problems to someone who is completely removed…
