High Risk, High Reward One of the sayings that my fiance and I use the most is “high risk, high reward.” You wouldn’t think that a garden photoshoot would require such an intense motto… But throw in a…
Y2K
Remember when we had songs as ringtones? When did those fade away? I used to swap between a handful of 99 cent mp3 files and now it seems everyone has the same default iPhone ringtone. It’s probably not the best…
