Internet marriage advice is the best because it doesn’t get bogged down into the specifics of he said/she said, he did/she did. If you’re married, then it’s meant for you! How easy is that?!?! And since everyone knows that everything on the internet is totally true, you can rest assured that you are getting the […]
One Time in Paris…
High up on the hill of Montmartre, just shy of the spotlights around the Sacre Coeur, is a tiny little fondue restaurant. The fare is cheap but plentiful, the seating consists of two long rows of picnic tables and the wine is served in baby bottles. It is a Parisian hole in the wall, a […]
