On Tuesday April 7th, the world unexpectedly lost a precious little girl named Maddie Spohr, age 17 months.

Sharing the Hateyness
Don’t you sometimes just want to write a list of all the things/people you hate, piss you off or just plain annoy you? I do.
But then I’m all “Oh, but that’s so negative. I don’t want to be THAT person…all I HATE THIS and I HATE THAT!”
And then I hate myself for being so...
