Happy Friday 1/17/25
Happy Friday! Any fun plans for the long weekend? We’re taking the kids to Seattle for some family time and big-city fun. It’s been 8 years since we left the city for our small town and we still miss it. The energy, all the things to do, the food. Especially the food! Soaking it all in while for a couple days :) Wishing you a lovely, slow weekend!
