I spent the better part of my weekend sorting out travel plans for our little family. It was more fun than I care to admit. My only problem, okay, a couple of problems. The school calendar puts a kink in my dreaming and my champagne taste means I have to slow my roll a bit! Unless of course, we do… View Post
Not so long ago I had a glorious weekend away with my Hubby.
