Friends are a necessary part of life. Friendships are a required human relationship among social and communal beings. Few can get through the journey of life without having friends. The amount of friends we acquire in life is unique to each individual. Just as unique as the type of friendships we develop with different people. Certain types of friends are temporary, serving a specific purpose at a precise point in our lives. Other types of friends are much more permanent, remaining steadfast throughout all of the changes we each endure in a lifetime. Even the permanent types of friends may come and go, being more present at certain times and…

A Plea to Mother Nature & Link Up On the Edge #81
Dear Mother Nature, I am not entirely sure who has wronged you so, but you are fighting back with a vengeance and I am merely getting caught in the cross fire of your mad flinging of snow. I just wanted to let you know that I am sorry for whatever has made you so inexplicably angry. I also want to say that you sure are beautiful when you’re pissed. But how much prettier you would be if you just calmed down a little and let go of whatever grudge you are holding. *This is a sponsored post. This scarf was provided to me by DressLily for purposes of this post.…

What It’s Like to Live in a Snow Globe
Who doesn’t love a pretty snow globe? A symbol of childhood, innocence, and the happiest days of our youth. With or without a music box, these glass spheres create a feeling of warm fuzzies all while sharing a cold winter weather scene. Created by glassblowers in France in the early 19th century as adjuncts to paperweights, these pieces eventually made their way to the United States and became popular collector’s items in the 1920’s. They have featured everything from movie scenes to tourist attractions and are a very common gift given to children even today. We have quite a few snow globes around our house and I know I have…
