When they emailed back, they had taken the time to sit down TOGETHER and answer the questions-with little snippets of responses from each of them thrown in! It was the […]

All of Fredericksburg’s meet-ups so far have been held indoors, but our group is growing almost faster than we can keep up (which is a GOOD problem!!) 🙂 So, this month, with the beautiful fall weather rolling […]
