Today I attended my first Star Wars party! Not sure if I ever seen the movie in it’s entirety, but I’m all about gathering with family and friends to celebrate. So when my friend, Amy invited us to her “May the 4th Be With You” I was excited! I immediately […]
Yom HaShoah {2014}
Today is Yom HaShoah (or Holocaust Memorial Day in English).
