Brunch {Sunday Funday}
Hello, all! I hope you’re enjoying your weekend. We certainly have been enjoying ours. While I had to spend the majority of yesterday completing a CPR class (preschool teacher duties!), we went to go see Beauty and the Beast in the evening. We snuck a couple of sandwiches into the theater and had a dinner… Continue reading
