As disheartening as many pieces of news remain, every day we also hear about exciting, hopeful events, like the first female Muslim chaplain being commissioned to work for the United States military. The more women we see representing, particularly women of color, the better, especially in times like these.

Carte Blanch was primarily an air war carried out over six days. A total of about twenty-five hundred aircraft were allocated to both sides. The referees controlled the pace of the conflict.

Boulder, St. Louis, Chicago and Atlanta are all on the route, and they plan on heading Northeast in New York and Virginia, too. Chances are they will either be close enough for most of us to see or within a range for a decent road trip!
Will you be seeing any of these concerts? Tell us which ones in the chat!
Photography is one of those arts that is a mystery to me. I'm sure if I ever took a class and got some tips from a pro I'd be better at it, but I've always found it to be harder than other arts. So resources like this one from Capture the Atlas that help photographers take better photos are especially cool.
Valentine's Day is only a week away! Do you know what you're getting your loved one, friend, family member--or even yourself? Hey, everyone celebrates differently, and there's no one here to judge you. You want to treat yourself to a mani, pony ride or Batman costume a la Ben Wyatt? Treat yourself.
Time and time again, research has proven that shorter work weeks equals more productivity in the workplace. This makes total sense, of course: people can concentrate and perform better when they aren't exhausted and burned out. Yet as advanced as our tech has become, our way of thinking remains woefully behind, especially in the west. Many other countries have shortened their work weeks and had positive results.
Two big sea lions took off with someone's boat and the video has gone viral. If that's not weird enough, the two denied a third sea lion entry onto the boat when it tried to join them!
Do you like morbid books and read-a-thons? If so, Strange-a-Thon is definitely for you. I took part in December and had a lot of fun with this read-a-thon (although I wrote about it in my journal instead of sharing on social media), so I thought I'd share it with you again here now that there's another one coming up.
There's a subscription box theme for everything these days, and desserts and snacks are one of the many themes that people enjoy the most. Companies like Mrs. Fields and Harry & David have Dessert of the Month Club options, as do many other bakeries and candy shops.

There are a bunch of great old fashioned mixers for a classic vibe as well as some pink-hued ones for that special V-Day twist.
The Homeschool Gameschool blog is one of my favorites, and not just because I do homeschool. It's always got news on some of the latest games as well as old classics I've never even heard about, and I always love to learn about new games!
One of my all-time favorite treats is a phosphate soda, and one of the best ones you can get is Shug's Soda Fountain & Ice Cream in Seattle. All of their syrups and toppings are house-made, and they have everything from ice cream cocktails to organic coffee. You can find something there no matter what mood you're in.
