Today I am linking up with Running on Happy and Fairytales and Fitness for Friday Five 2.0 Linkup. Ah, the holidays. Let’s talk about the holidays. This seems like such a good idea right now, doesn’t it? The holidays comprise Thanksgiving AND Christmas, right? I love and embrace both and...

On Thursday (10/6), we had some time to kill in the morning and headed to the historic downtown area in Folsom. Can you imagine that I had never been there? It’s such a cute, historic main street though. We walked around a bit and had a drink at a small...

It’s 11 p.m. and I have not yet posted anything today. I have a hard time returning to ‘business as usual’ and (as previously noted), I am unprepared for NaBloPoMo this year and I have no ready-to-go posts sitting in my draft folder that I can just throw up and...
