This summer marks the tenth year I’ve had my bunny rabbit, Buttons. He has been a trusty pal. I took him out into the backyard yesterday afternoon, and we had a mini photoshoot together. I’m thankful to have a furry buddy who has been in my life for the majority of it, and even though…

If you’re aware of some of my quirks, you’d recognize that I’m a little bit obsessed about scents.  When I buy a new book or a new dress, I have to sniff it to take in what I have come in contact with. When I step into a Hallmark store filled with new items, I…
