As you may already know from a few posts/Stories on Instagram or if you've already watched the Vlog on my YouTube channel, my husband, Michael, and I just got back from six glorious, sunny, perfect fall weather days in Southern Vermont. We decided to go to Vermont for a few reasons. One, because it's not hot this time of year. We live in San Antonio, Texas, and as I write this, it is almost 100 … [Read more...]
