Favorite Friday is a weekly meme that features bloggers/authors and their favorites things!                                                                       *** It's time for another edition of Favorite Friday! This week I'm excited to have Kari from A Good Addiction . ~~~~~~~~~ It’s always a warm and fuzzies kind of thing when you get to take control of someone else’s blog.
