Now, I really like my new glasses.
When I finally pointed them out to my mom, who was dropping off my kid, she was surprised and said, "Oh, I didn't notice, you're always wearing corny stuff!"
Please assure me they are, in fact, cool.

In a couple weeks I'll be in New Orleans for about a day and a half for a workshop. Staying right near the French Quarter. Other than stuffing my cheeks like a little chipmunk with Cafe du Monde and beignet, what's a must-do if I have a couple hours in the morning and maybe later in the evening?

You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

I made a simple little breakfast that I usually make to share with my toddler. It's just melted cheese sprinkled with cinnamon sugar on toast, but it's a Midwest staple. My mom and grandma made it for me. I think, "Renee Good can't make it for her 6-year-old anymore," and I am a wreck.

We're out here victim blaming infants, apparently.

I stopped using sticker mule absolute ages ago because of the owner’s bullshit. The owner is still on his bullshit, so if you use sticker mule, maybe don’t. StickerAPP is a good alternative, and also there’s most likely a local sticker printer near you (Sticker Ninja in Portland, for example).
The latest move by Sticker Mule's owner. Please don't give these people your money (or honestly send them your artwork, you never know).

StickerMule has been rotten for ages, as has ULINE, but as with a lot of small-art-business inside-baseball stuff, I don't expect people to automatically know. But now you know.
