Book review: ‘Wild’ is a beautiful journey to finding yourself

Cutest of the week: “the littlest roar”
Who says just because you're small, you aren't powerful? This little guy tries so hard to roar, but what comes out is a tiny, adorable squeak. He doesn't give up, trying over and over to make a sound. It doesn't get much cuter than this. Hey little lion man, you're strong and tough — don't [...]
‘A Regal Corgi Tea Party’ celebrates Queen Elizabeth’s 63-year reign

Mr. Tea: a fun and convenient steeper
When I met my friend Rachel (of Life of a Female Bibliophile) last week for afternoon tea, she gave me something (or someone, I suppose) that has changed my life. His name? Mr. Tea. From Fred & Friends, Mr. Tea is a three-inch silicone rubber tea infuser with a relaxed looking face. To use him, you [...]
