It has been a very very long time since my last blog post (see Sam’s Barnyard Blowout), as I recently gave birth to my beautiful sweet girl, Chloe Brielle (cheers for me!)! And so coming off from my semi-leave from work, I will make up for this by mustering my writing juices and trying my best to post more parties in the near future! Here’s a personal favorite of mine, which I’ve always wanted to post and share with you but did not really have the time (until now):...
