What Do You Want to Make Today?
I love our blogging community in Northwest Arkansas. We meet up once a month, and it’s one of the rare times I go out by myself, so it’s especially special. We go to a restaurant, talk and laugh. We usually don’t talk about blogging all that much. But last night we did a little, and […]
