Hey, it’s hiking week here at Boxy Colonial! (Next week really should be bathroom week. We’re working hard to make it so). (So I know there have been a lot of travel posts lately. I don’t really see an end in sight for this, as we have a lot of trips planned for the next….umm, the rest of our lives? … Continue reading
This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Brita, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #BritaOnTheGo http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV” I’ve mentioned before that we’ve been making it a priority to take Abe on a lot of hikes and walks these days, partially to toughen him up for our big road trip … Continue reading
