Thank You for My Pants, Amelia Bloomer

Do not take your jeans for granted; what is now an everyday staple for women was once a serious scandal.

There’s no such thing as a dream house—at least, not according to the owners of 8634 Santa Clara Drive. But that doesn’t mean theirs isn’t quietly remarkable.
