I came into a lot of clarity about what I wanted once I was able to put the... [Read more of this review]

Travel

Summer has officially begun and tomorrow is the first day of Hurricane Season. OH JOY! I really mean it. Hurricane evacuations mean a trip to Disneyworld to visit Mickey and all of his pals for us – always a very exciting time in the Dagwood household! Tink participated in his first dance competition this Saturday. He did well for his first time.... [Read more of this review]
