Hello, Monday! Chelsea here.

Welcome back, friends. I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Although we didn’t get enough snow to really dive into any winter activities, it was still nice while it lasted. Actually, when I woke up and saw snow on Saturday morning, I was surprised at how excited I was. But that’s the thing about growing up.
