Life In Pleasantville
Food, Travel, Life
So the last three days have been crazy busy…..doing for my children. In fact, since Friday night I’d say I was entirely focused on them. Friday night we took them to Laser tag and watched as two little girls entered a room with 20 boys and kicked some major laser ass. Too much fun. Then …
