Remember when you were in the pre-teen/early teen years? Those can be particularly awful years, especially if you are a girl. Cattiness, cliques and awkward times were the hallmark of those years for me. Sadly, it seems to be a similar experience for my oldest daughter. This is where you Crassers come in.

There is also something about it that may be a bit unsettling. Continue reading

Happy Halloween weekend! Ghosts, goblins, zombies, and sexy watermelons are what you dress up as, but what music gets you in the mood to scare or be scared?
