I have been doing this blog now for four years. I know doesn’t seem like just yesterday I was Freshman Mom? But no, time has zipped on by. And I figure with the pace things change online a four year old blog is actually twenty-five years old in blog years. I think… Read More

We were supposed to go to Charleston this weekend. I thought I would be blogging photos of plantations and southern food, and big mansions.
