β Happy Thursday! I'm back home from my week in San Francisco and... Surprisingly, I like the city a little more than I did the last time I visited! I got to explore some local spots, catch a few baseball games (RIP Oakland A's), and enjoy great food. I still dislike the weather in SF, but I definitely like the city more than I did when I first visited.

I love Daily Drop Pro (formerly FareDrop), and I've...

I'll send you all the details you need to know once a new date is set, but if you want to learn more now, you can read more about the delay or learn...
Happy Thursday! I hope everyone is enjoying fall (or spring, depending on where you are in the world). While it may seem early to think about it, I wanted to talk about Christmas! Christmas is my favorite holiday, and one of my favorite things to do during the holiday season is go to Christmas markets. Christmas markets originated in Europe in the 13th century in the German-speaking region (likely Germany or Austria). They are still a beloved holiday tradition today, and you can find them all...
