48 Hours In San Francisco
Would you like to go away for the weekend? My answer is always yes! The Hubs and I hopped a plane Friday and spent the weekend in San Fran. It was a long plane ride but well worth leaving the polar vortex for sunny, warm California. The weather was absolutely perfect...
What I am Reading-November
This month I tried something new, I am listening to the book on Audible instead of reading the book. Pretty good so far. I finished Lena Dunham's new book, Not that Kind of Girl on Audible last month and really enjoyed the book read to me by Lena herself. So, I...
