Adventures in Fashion, Parenting & Joie de Vivre
First of all, let it be clear: I love Converse, since about forever. They’re like the Switzerland of athletic-y footwear: all kinds of folks wear them, whether they’re emo kids, punks, moms on the playgrounds, or kid-kids. They’ve always been classic, and cool, no matter what the trend is. But sometimes you really need shoes […]
Believe it or not, I have been wanting to write about money and personal finance for ages.
