Hello all! I am back from Miami. Due to the unbelievably cold weather in Miami, I am not sporting much of a sunkissed glow (it rained, it was cloudy, it was horrifically windy, and it was never over 70 degrees or so), but my sister and I had fun on our weekend girls’ trip to… Continue Reading I Won a Weekend Girls’ Trip to Miami!

I spent yesterday doing laundry, but also huddling on the couch drinking tea and watching Lifetime and E. A bubble bath DID brighten my mood a bit – glad… Continue Reading Monday
Wow, I had a crazy couple of days! Thursday night after work, met up with a few friends from the suburbs and we drove back into DC to celebrate the birthdays of two of our good friends.
