A Gift Guide to Gifting for Your Guys
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Thank goodness Kyle never reads my blog, because I’d hate for him to find out that he’s getting wood for Christmas before Christmas morning. If he doesn’t already know, that is. It’s hard to surprise a man who goes through your phone…
