In Extraordinary Times…
The power of doing ordinary things One of the worst things about times like this is the feeling that there’s nothing you can do.

Winter Park Farmers’ Market – Winter Park, FL
One of our favorite places to spend a romantic Saturday morning is the Winter Park Farmers’ Market. It’s a positively wonderful way to start the weekend.
