Crofton On Wells
I’m glad you all enjoyed my 2012 book list! Looking forward to crossing off some stellar reads. My weekend was filled with a lot of writing (some new thoughts and direction on my book have me very excited). On Saturday, Bobby and I took a break from our to-dos and visited Crofton On Wells.

Do You Fondue?
Why yes, yes I do. 🙂 Actually, I had never been to a fondue restaurant until Sunday night.

New York, New York: Part Two
I loved hearing all of your stories about New York! Keep ’em coming! Our first day was definitely packed with activity, but Friday promised to be just as exciting. It began early with a train ride to New Jersey, where I met up with Sam to stash our suitcases at her place before heading back […]
