We started the Slovenia part of the trip just over the border in Piran with a couple of days enjoying the beach and decompressing, doing laundry and taking a short breath before the final stretch. One of our favorite stops was to Predjama Castle. Generations before of his family could have walked this country-side. What a fun … [Read more...] about Predjama Castle Slovenia – the Original Stojkovich Stomping Grounds
Sweet Bouncing Baby Girl and Boy – In All My Family Colors!
Today's video....and post will be short! I forgot to turn my phone to airplane mode before I filmed this tutorial. I was nearly done when one of those maddening calls from our "unknown caller" friends came in. Can we all agree that they are the scum that feeds off the pondscum (I need to watch My Best Friends Wedding, lol)? When you are filming and a call comes in - it is the end of filming. The good things....I was ALMOST done. Just needed to tie the bow and stick the card … [Read more...] about Sweet Bouncing Baby Girl and Boy – In All My Family Colors!
