March 2019 in this Awful Awesome Life

March is Women’s History Month and we’ll be taking a look at some trailblazers and rule breakers who have opened doors for other women.

We’ll also be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. Did you know that March is Umbrella Month and National Kite Month? Looking back at the last couple of years, any day in March could mean shoveling snow, rocking an umbrella and your favorite rain boots or chasing your empty garbage cans down the street while the wind whips you around like a puppet.

The wonderful thing about March is the chance of seeing a little glimpse of spring.

Our talented writing staff is back with some interesting and unusual articles to usher in a new season and as always we’ll have book reviews, book recommendations and a quiz. Linda Cahill will have some amazing recipes from The Pampered Chef and Tanya Bashor will show you how to brighten up those last days of winter.

In the meantime, we hope you have enjoyed this issue of This Awful Awesome Life. See you next month!
