  1. kristanlynn said...:

    Thanks for taking the time to comment! Love that you take the time to make video tutorials.

    Starbucks is my "getaway". The closest one to use is about a 25-30 minute drive. It makes for a very special treat. My two year old loves going because she "thinks" she gets coffee. (i always order a water in a small hot coffee cup... so she can pretend to drink coffee with me.. she thinks she's soooo cool. hah.. i'm sure other moms whisper about me behind my back when they see my two year old with a Starbucks tho. HAH!)

    hope you're enjoying your weekend!
