STOP TALKING SMACK ABOUT MILLENNIAL PARENTS
A couple of weeks ago, I came across a video on Facebook that sent me into a mad spin. The video was a small snippet of a more extensive video discussing how the kids of today are not resilient; they are weak and soft. On the stage, a woman of an older generation is presenting her take on how she

ORGANIC PETS
Being a pet owner comes with so much unconditional love its crazy. We bring these amazing creatures into our homes and they quickly become family members that we simply couldn’t live without.
