So Thankful…

Happy Monday and hello, December! I have to admit that going back to work first thing this morning is not particularly ideal, partly because I’m still in a bit of a food coma but mostly because these last few days were so fun and busy that I feel like a long nap is in order […]

Not-So-Local-Loves: Mike and Rosy’s Deli

When I ask for recommendations for places to visit or eat while I’m traveling, I do my best to visit any and all suggestions provided to me.
