Bringing Peanuts Around My Child Feels Like This
This was my first – ever so small – “viral” post. Viral for me at least. In short, this post got added to the wall of a food allergy Facebook group. Nearly 1,500 unique visitors saw it in a matter of hours.

The Best Winston Churchill Joke
Come on. Of course this is funny. Stumbleupon readers loved it.
