July 14th, 2016 · 1 Comment · Children's Charities, Developing Areas, St. Jude's, Veterans and Military, World Vision
For some reason, I am really, really allergic to just about everything you put on your skin. I can’t use lotion, insect repellent, underarm deodorant, or sunscreen without really bad allergic reactions. As a result, during the summer while everyone else is at the beach, in the woods, or playing summer sports, I’m usually cowering under […]

April 8th, 2016 · No Comments · Developing Areas

February 15th, 2015 · No Comments · Amazon, Developing Areas
