To compromise, we like to do local getaways, Staycays, as they’re called. To get in the holiday spirit and indulge in a little luxury we ventured to the Four Seasons Westlake… Read more →
When I was married I rarely, if ever took my wedding ring off. It just felt weird NOT to have my ring on. Even through my pregnancies it literally got stuck on my 3x enlarged finger and almost had to be cut off. Being married can be beautiful as is displaying your commitment via the ring. However, sometimes a wedding… Read more →
