Happy weekend, everyone! I hope you’ve all had a fantastic week that was more productive than mine! My week was (shockingly) mostly consumed by a sick puppy.

Well, this has been yet another embarrassingly unproductive week here on the blog. I’ve been continuing to plan our trip for later this year, among other things.

Well this week was insanely busy. First of all, I feel like I should apologize for being seriously awful at commenting back. :/ I hate when that happens and I promise to be better! My posts were also seriously lacking this week. As in, there weren’t many… But a few things were going on. First, […]
