I have a confession - I almost always forget to attend First Friday. It isn't that I'm uninterested or lacking in a calendar, it's just that by Friday evening I usually feel a little brain dead and, if I go directly home after work, often, I don't leave again.

Going Greek
How do you say adorable in Greek?Friday night Liam and I made it to the St. Sophia's Greek Festival on Whitehall Road.

Lots of other more fussy and thorough bloggers have covered the finer details, especially the cheese selection and the paella. … Continue reading AOA 3rd Birthday Party
