There have been moments that I’ve thought, what were you thinking?!  You’re crazy. But honestly it’s getting so crazy that I’m so excited. SO EXCITED. The next few weeks are insane. And in natural Jackie fashion I started packing an hour ago to leave 10 minutes from now. PS I’m packed. I killed it. I’m […]

  I make 2 playlists a year. The rest of the time I just listen to my most recent purchases. Over and over and over and over. I can listen to the same song over and over for hours. Cause I pick good music! 😉 At Christmas I make a playlist. Christmas deserves a playlist! […]
