Ah the changing of the seasons. Cold weather, falling leaves, hot cocoa, and hot coffee if you go for that. But for me, one of the best things about seasonal changes for fall and winter would have to be seasonal foods! There are some things I only really like to eat during certain times of […]
Five on Friday
Random things of happiness from this past week. This is something new I’ll be doing as I saw it on another blog and agree that it’s a good idea! So, here are my five! 1.) Kat has her 6 week post operation check up at Shriners. Her x-ray looks awesome and she gets cleared for […]
