Today we would like to talk about birds, because we love birds and have several different sorts of them on our plates. Guess how many birds there are in the world? I had to look it up. 18,000 bird species. New research led by the American Museum of Natural History suggests that there are about 18,000 bird species in the world—nearly twice...

It's FLASH BACK FRIDAY!! Today we'll dig up an old post from our blog's archives to share with you again! Today it's our Teaching Generations: Bridal Shower Gift Idea post from July, 2010.

In our family, Thanksgiving is our favorite holiday. No matter where we are in the world, it's understood and expected that we'll be together on Turkey day. It's a family tradition centered around taking the time to really think about what and who we're really thankful for - and in most cases, it's our family. This year we are celebrating...

I tend to think that our generation (my generation - the young adults of the present age) doesn't often appreciate fine china the way our mothers, grandmothers, or great grandmothers do or did. In general we don't see an importance in spending hundreds of dollars on plates when we can find something to eat off of at a much cheaper...
