Greetings from The Snowpocalypse!

A post this late in the afternoon on ‘Coffee & Chiffon‘ can and usually does mean one thing – your girl is tired and in full-blown recovery mode! I have essentially been going non-stop since Wednesday morning, and now that I’m back home in New England and back to work, I’ve been trying to get […]
