Sorry I’ve been missing!!

Image courtesy of digitalart / FreeDigitalPhotos.net Sorry I’ve been missing this week. We’ve had a bit of a health scare in the Hewitt household. My daughter has been in the hospital since Monday due to an infection of some type in her shoulder (the doctors’ best guess at this point is that it’s a bone infection that we caught early).

Let’s Discuss – Insta-love. Can it ever work?

“Love is an Open Door” from Frozen. A lesson about the perils of insta-love! 🙂 If you read my reviews regularly, you know that insta-love is usually a major negative for me. You all know what I’m talking about – boy meets girl and both are instantly drawn to each other. They’ve never felt this way about anyone before.
