City of lights, love and, apparently… life lessons.

November 16, 2011June 12, 2014 Amanda Frances

{disclaimer: I’m in a super silly mood. . . bear with me} The City of Love. The City of Lights. The City of Glitz. The City of Glamour. I longed and prayed to visit Paris. I have a list of cities in my wallet at all times that I complied four years ago on the back of […]
