Gifted Realty Huntsville

Today, I had a lunch date with a friend. I had a few spare minutes prior to our lunch, so I stopped by a gift shop on my way to the restaurant. I had actually seen this gift shop for the past year, but I never had time to stop. I am always rushing to get to my hair...

VRBO at Amelia Island

Friends, you already know where I love to rest my head when I leave town. Yes, I love the Ritz Carlton, but this time, it was just not the best option for me and my family. We were going to be visiting the island for 5 days. Five days in a confined space with two kids...
