I’ve been struggling with my holiday spirit this season. Or at least, in keeping a consistent hold on it. And then I saw this blog post about a wonderful young woman who saves lives every single day and asks for nothing in return. And I thought… “I found it.” She makes scenes like these possible: [...]

We here at Casa Fabulous hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. We were, alas, felled by plague, the likes of which I have not experienced in quite a long time.
