When I first started dating my husband, he would lovingly comment that my nose is always in a book. It's true that I've always been a bit of a book worm.

Until then, I'll stick with the basics, because I still managed to sneak in a few of my favorite things, albeit things you've seen around the blog fairly often.  On Friday night, I was exhausted from a long week, but I met David … [Read more...]
