You have to come see this! Get up!" Being that this was well before we had kids and we were 21 (oh to be young again … Continue reading Where Were You?
Heather Graham is one author whose books I've always thoroughly enjoyed. Since I have a very narrow window of time each day, my reading need is being very neglected. It's just the season of life we're in right now and that's okay with me, there will be tons of time later to enjoy more reading. … Continue reading Heather Graham-The Hidden
