The entries of my six year old self were simple but also (more…)
Imagine a whole weekend with Rose, Blanche and Dorothy? Come on…you can’t deny that you would absolutely LOVE every moment of it!
Earlier this summer I said to my Mom, “You know what, Mom? It’s time for you to have a little fun at the cottage and not have to do ANYTHING!
