I was so excited/inspired/motivated to get crazy creative with the little darlings. As it turned out, besides the apple tart, I managed [...]
I’m confused–is it summer or fall? If it really is summer (it IS August), then why am I wearing a scarf every day, and why am I already thinking about booking my plane ticket home for Thanksgiving?
