7 Signs You’re Aging
So last night we attended our office yearend D&D (dinner & dance) which was a masquerade ball (blog post to follow!).

“So, have you thought about what to name your baby?” I asked my pregnant friend Kes a few months ago. “I haven’t decided on it, yet,” she replied. “But I was thinking of coming up with a name that was a combination of my parents’ names, my husband’s and my own.” “Well, as long as […]
