Trader Joe's finally opened up two locations in Kansas City a couple weeks ago. People have been asking them to open stores here for years (myself included). I was so excited when they announced the locations that I vowed to go on opening day. Benzo wanted to go too so we all went as a family after… Continue reading Trader Joe’s

Mothers’ Day
