Hi Everyone,
So sorry I have not posted anything in a while. I have had one crazy summer. It felt like July went in two weeks in stead of four. Then in August I had surgery where did the summer go.
I am so excited that I just got the Vera Bradley coupon and the tote bag is on sale so hopefully my husband get the hint and get it for my birthday. The wine color is so pretty.
I am sad that I can not eat chocolate any longer or drink any of my caffeinated beverages anymore it is making for a not very nice mother in the mornings.
Sorry I a babbling.
Post soon again I promise.
