But, luckily, I decided to buy my own large kit this year for myself. Have I mentioned yet that... Continue Reading →
5 days til Christmas! Like I mentioned before, we pretty much have plans every day through the New Year. I figured 245AM was as good of time as any to get my post in for the day. I have been working on the barbie house since about 1030p.m. It is really coming along! Though, this... Continue Reading →
