Did you make resolutions this year? I didn’t…not technically. But I did take the time to reflect on some changes that I think would benefit our family!

Eating Glegan (Gluten-Free & Vegan) at Triple George Grill
Recently Melanie Lee (of Jetsettin’ Daisy blog & @jetsettindaisy instagram) & I tried the Glegan menu over at Triple George Grill located just inside the Downtown Grand’s street corridor between Ogden and Stewart.
