Arts, Crafts, and Coastal Pumpkins…

It’s been a busy few days as I finalize plans for Halloween Eve and Halloween Night in-between working, putting the finishing touches on a costume for a murder mystery dinner I’m participating in this coming weekend, and finalizing plans for some travel at the beginning of November for my boyfriend’s birthday – but I’ve still […]

Waffles and Robert Frost…

With Troy finishing packing up the last of his belongings from his childhood home this past Saturday, that left our Sunday wide open for a daytime adventure.
