Do these socks make my feet look fat?*
Over the past few weeks, I've also been asked:"Now that you're heading back does this mean you're going to be shutting down or renaming your blog?"The short answer:No and no.The long answer:Striped Socks and Skinny Jeans was never really about stripes, socks, skinny and/or jeans.** It's always been about figuring
Things I Will Miss, Part One
There have been a few common questions I've gotten when I've told people we're heading back to the US. The most frequent one is "Aren't you so glad to be going back?"And I am, mostly. I want Elliot to grow up close to his cousins and I want him to spend lots of quality time with his NeeNee (BigD)*.
