    Featured Story : Heart of the Tree by Graeme

    By wildone

    Wow, I'm being worked to the bone here 😮 2 blogs in 2 days  So when I heard one of our Review Team Members was heading down under, I thought I might take a stab at writing my first review for the Review Team. I need to warn you, I usually only copy and paste the amazing work the Team does.  So with @chris191070 in Australia, I thought I would review one of my favourite stories from there.        Heart of the Tree by Graeme   Reviewer: Wildone Status: Compl

Weekly Wrap Up (Nov. 9 - Nov. 15)

😮  Ever wake up in the morning and see something and know you have to do something about it? No, I'm not referring to that, guys .  I did that this morning. I opened the fridge and I have to admit it was pretty bare. The thing is when you see your bare fridge, you probably going to notice it needs a really good cleaning! So there I am at 8 this morning with everything fitting onto one shelf, and pulling out the other 3 shelves, the two crispers and meat tray, and all the door pockets.

Featured Story: True As It Can Be by W_L

Happy 2nd Tuesday of the Month. I like when this happens; when the Review Team Members turn on themselves  Well, maybe not turn. Moreso write a review on each others.
