Greetings!
It has been one of those weeks! The basement flooded, my car needed all new tires, both kids had doctor visits, the dogs pooped in the living room, and I spent hours looking for my daughter's ear drops only to find out the next morning that she had hid them from me! Parenthood is anything but glamorous, but tomorrow is a new day! So, I'm thinking it's time to drive south and escape to Dr. Jazz's Bed and Breakfast. Read more from Julie Kaiser who just returned from a fabulous weekend there. |
