by Jasmin Briggs Hi everyone, WO2 intern Jasmin here! On Wednesday, July 20th I had the opportunity to attend the DC grand opening of Bucketfeet, a shoe company based in Chicago.

When we remodeled in 2008, our original bedroom became our home office (see it here), and we made a… Continue Reading Our New Bedroom Rug from Rugs USA

I did my research and went with ParaGard, a hormone-free copper inter-uterine device which was free with my insurance.
