Halloween and Dia de los Muertos Weekend: Part Three
Happy Friday, dear readers! We made it through the week, and if you’re anything like me you’re kicking off your weekend by eating a personal sized pizza on the couch (don’t judge me).

Halloween and Dia de los Muertos Weekend: Part Two
Last Saturday, I attended La Cita’s Dia de los Muertos party, art show, and birthday celebration of my friend, Alicia. What a great time!

The Ten Days of Hoffmas
