got your mother's day card?

Terrible blogger much?  Oh busy much am I!  I don't even really have a weekend this week since I've got to sit in on our first-time home buyer's class tomorrow and Sunday from 9am-3pm!  :(

Anyway... if you haven't heard.... and you haven't gotten your mama a mother's day card yet (Mother's Day is May 8 this year)... this PSA is for you  :]

TinyPrints.com offers any Mother's Day Card for free via code "MDLOVE"  That's a perk for you since the point of this post was really just to show off these two awesomely cute cards.  haha.

SF in the Spring: Part 2

Was gonna post a lot sooner this week but it felt like a really long week!  Perhaps it was cause I was off last week and it takes extra effort to get back into things.

Part 1: The People, the Place and now...

Part 2: The Food.  haha, I basically... saw family and friends, and ATE.  A lot.  There is good food in SF that just doesn't compare in Boston!  (Though Boston is much better than say, Ithaca.  haha)

SF in the Spring: Part 1

Went home to visit family (and friends) last week!  Such faaaaantastic weather.  :]  Thanks San Francisco for being such a pal.  Except for the fact that I brought a bunch of sweaters home, since it was still 40° in Boston and SF is... normally on the chilly side!

Part 1: The People, the Place

This is a picture of me with the Pho.  Which is important.  To every trip to SF.  :-D
