Stop What You Are Doing, Go to Sally’s Middle Name
Sally’s Middle Name was nothing like I expected. Not because I had low expectations, but because it blew me out of the water. Seriously, every aspect of my evening was so thoughtful and creative. From the drinks to dinner to dessert to the service, it was exceptional. Why did I […]
