Nonna
If you caught our Instagram feed at all last week, you probably know that Sherry’s mom was in town. And Clara was in Nonna heaven. I’m not sure who is more infatuated with whom in this pair, but it...

When we posted this Instagram shot last month we alluded to the fact that it wasn’t our ordinary, everday snapshot (our caption revealed that both of us had to put on make-up for it). That’s because we...
