      The first weekend in February
      2021/02/08
      The first weekend in February was so much fun! My aunt and cousins came to town and I spent the day with my sister and my mom and them while we toured southern California starting at the cemetery driving past childhood homes shopping and ending with a tea party! Then on Sunday my husband and I took our kids to downtown Disney where we did some shopping were forced to wear face masks and spent tons of money even though the park was closed. Also I reopen my Etsy shop and you can now purchase yourself DIY macrame keychain sets and matching family masks.
