I have been canning peaches so I had mason jars on the brain. I have seen several versions of this idea. I have seen them used on coat racks, for bathroom stuff and for craft supplies. So since I was needing another nature decor item for my hallway I thought, why not use them as planters???

This piece of burnt toast used to be a slice of bread. By applying heat from a toaster, the original bread slice was converted into burnt toast by a process called burning. While the nutritional value was compromised in the process, the utilitarian value was greatly enhanced. At home or at work, while traveling or when you least expect it, burnt toast has a wide variety of uses. These include any number of practical things.

Beautiful Boy is an unconventional love story that explores the journey of a married couple on the verge of separation, who must live with unimaginable heartbreak, and find healing through the darkest days of their lives. Bill (Michael Sheen) and Kate (Maria Bello) hopelessly try to find some hint of an explanation after finding out that their only son committed a mass shooting at his university before taking his own life. They struggle numbly through the funeral, the media onslaught, and the awkward pity from relatives and friends. Their already strained marriage is tested as they realize all they have left with each other is their shared grief and confusion-and the unfortunate legacy of their son. This life-altering event forces Bill and Kate to face their feelings of guilt, rage, blame, self-discovery - and ultimately hope - so that they can finally see each other and their chance for happiness again with clear eyes.
