We were invited to attend a screening Thanksgiving week to go check it out and find out more about who/what is Coco?

A Pirate's Life for Me! How to Party Like Jack Sparrow (Decor, Food & Fun!)

June 12, 2017

Completing a Master's degree definitely calls for a party. We decided the perfect inspiration would be the newest Pirates of the Caribbean movie to honor Captain Andrew's accomplishments.

This past weekend we had a POTC movie marathon at home then went to a screening of Dead Men Tell No Tales...

We brought James (and his brother Jesse) home as tiny kittens on Valentine’s weekend in 2010. We were lucky enough to raise both of them from playful little kittens into old, delicate gentle
