    Some Sunday Stuff: January 12th.

    Some of the biggest music trends of the teens, some of the top wedding gowns of the past century, some of the best children’s books of the past year, and some time traveling with Alicia Keys. It’s this week’s Some Sunday Stuff.

Mark Shea, author and blogger
