Diary of a Homemaker’s Week: Summer Begins
Posted by admin on
Saturday: I was bone weary today. I've had about three naps already and feel as though I could crawl into bed and sleep all night long without a bit of trouble. That it's only about 7pm is the problem. Even though we typically arise early on Sundays I don't think I want to be up at 3am which would be just about my limit on sleep.

Denim stretches, and you can actually add up to 1 inch (2.5 cm) to the waist, hips, butt, thighs, calves, and/or length of your jeans by stretching them out.

Santa Fe Restaurant Directory
Posted by admin on
The sounds of patio dinners echo across the Plaza, throughout Midtown and on the Southside. Even inside, Santa Fe restaurants fill to reasonable capacities as the county maintains a delicate balance going into the summer eating season while still in the midst of a pandemic. For this year’s SFR Restaurant Directory, the name of the game is outdoor dining (and continued vigilance). We reached out to all of Santa Fe’s eateries to find out who has open patios or seating outside (see #). Though to be absolutely sure, call ahead to verify you can get a safe spot to enjoy...
