Weekend Reads MTV shutting down some of its music channels after 40 years. (E!) Amazon data center linked to cluster of rare cancers. (Futurism) Need a badass gift for four teens to adults? I know both my daughter and I would be happy to get one of these Anna Sui lip gloss rings and it…

When my daughter was born in 2009, I became the stay at home parent. While I knew how to cook basics, I hadn’t previously been the primary one making the meals. Having a child not only changed that but changed my priorities on nutrition and food quality. I slowly became a self taught cook and…
