  1. We still need to try those cotton candy grapes! I've never tried the Bailey's coffee creamer but now I know not to get it. I have been eyeing it, but ew, that sounds bad. Sorry it was a miss! This month, we were barely at home. We had so many opportunities for movie screenings and festivals that we were busy nearly every day. The downside is, everything else too a backseat and I feel like a crap friend and daughter. I guess that's the initial price you pay to get your name out there. I miss you gals, too. Seems like you had a great month!
