Cleaning out your house? Make sure you know what you can and can't donate at your local Goodwill Store.

I tend to be naive. When I stop at a motel, I assume everything is fine. I've learned that I am often very very wrong as there are a whopping 404 Wisconsin bed bug reports right now.

I'd rather not know what I know after some research into the current state of bed bugs in Illinois. I've learned that there are more than 600 current reports of bed bugs in Illinois motels right now.

Have you ever learned a fact and almost immediately wished you hadn't? That's exactly what's just happened to me as I now know there are 568 current reports of bed bugs in Missouri motels right now and I cannot erase that fact from my mind.

It was another volatile day in world events that may or may not have led to some strange plane activity over both Missouri and Illinois on Wednesday.

In what should be the least surprising news I share today, I did not attend preschool before I entered elementary school in Missouri. Perhaps I should have as there are some great options among the top 10 rated public preschools in Missouri that all deserve the A they get.
