Keep Calm and Drink Tea

Beth Ann Chiles/ Life stories, Tea and Teapots, Writing/ 30 Comments/ 3616

Keep calm and drink tea.  I am taking my own advice today because I need to. Moving is stressful.  As much as I try to pretend it isn’t – it is.  Thank goodness for a husband who handles all of the loan information and financial Continue reading →
