Introducing Maple Browser: Never Plan from Scratch Again For the first time, you can search and discover ready made plans—with notes, to-dos and events—made by households just like yours, and even the brands you love. Forget planning in hours, start planning in seconds.
Even though I’m not going back to school, I love that “first day back at work after labour day” feeling. Wearing a fall coat and opening a new notebook to celebrate.
When you start a business you never who will support you. I have been floored who has been @pikalayers biggest supporters: high school friends, co-workers, my mom's friends. If you know someone who is starting something: just buy the thing.
