Besides Barbie Magazine, (I need to write a post about that.) there was another thing I looked forward to receiving in the mail every month: my box of Weekly Reader books.

How I prepare my wardrobe for the new season
I usually rotate my wardrobe twice a year (winter to spring and summer to autumn). I look forward to this because I am usually tired of most of my clothes by the time a season ends.

I don't have the patience to make "real" lasagna, so I found ideas from a few recipes online the first time I made skillet lasagna. The next two times I made it, I just winged it.
