Happy Memorial Day to all those who served and serve our amazing country! Before the weekend even started we woke up Friday morning to a bubble of water on our kitchen ceiling. After a quick call to maintenance they came over to assess the damage. They closed off part of […]

Mother’s Day {2014}
I really wanted to celebrate Mother’s Day a little bit different this year. I had two things on the agenda, brunch and alone time. Thankfully, I got both this year. My morning started off really nice. Thanks to my hubby I got to sleep in two days in a row! […]
