This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of SUBWAY® Restaurants. All opinions are 100% mine. I have some wonderful news to spread and am eager to partner with SUBWAY® Restaurants to do so. But first, as always, a brief (not so brief) story … As you might recall, we had wanted to…

Crafts, Lotions, and Potions that will have you running for Beeswax
I did something over the weekend that I thought I would never do again. I made soap. Sounds simple, but goodness that Lye makes me nervous. But I did it. I conquered my fear, I tried it again, and guess what? The second time was not nearly as bad. Only moderately terrifying. Perhaps next time…
