It is officially time to welcome Fall and I am so excited! Friday was the official first day of Fall, so in honor of my favorite season, each post this week will be a celebration of everything I love about it! And if there is one thing I love to do in the Fall, it’s …
Wow I can’t believe it’s November already. Lots of good things happening this month. And it’s been a while since I hit up the bullet points so here goes. What I love about November in North Carolina! Fall is officially here! No more of this back and forth crap. We need jackets. And coffee. And …
This year, Jerry and I decided not to get a Christmas tree. We went around and around about whether to get a real one, fake one, when to go, how much to spend etc. But the bottom line was, we were gone the week of Thanksgiving, I was sick last week and we are going …
