We all do it. Lay in our beds, dreaming of some far away land. Where would you go if you could ACTUALLY get there? When I read the book Eat, Pray, Love I was totally mesmerized by the idea of spending a year going to different countries and immersing myself in the culture. I don’t think it’s… [Read More]

Waiting for the shoe to drop…
*This post is a totally, unedited rambling. I wanted to say hello and check in – but really, I’m half asleep. Bare with me. I’m here. Hanging in with my almost three week old sweet pea.
