I’m just going to hit pause on the awesomely easy summer strawberry salad for a sec… I get to go dancing in two days!!! Maybe that’s not exciting for you, but it is for me 🙂 The hubby and I used to do fun things like take latin …
It’s FRIDAY and I’m feeling great! My kids were in vacation bible school every morning this week which meant I actually had some bona-fide alone time to get things done. I checked off item after item on my summer to-do list and am finally caught …
