Hello Wanderers!!
Welcome to our first episode of the new year!!! We hope that you all have had a wonderful and safe holiday season! Now, let's dive back into the madness that is the FWP!
Todays episode is chock full of bad ideas from the Victorian era. From poisonous wall paper, to electrified table cloths..... The Victorians definitely walked (or as Kendra puts it, crawled) so that we could run!
So grab some popcorn and a fun bubbly drink as we dive in!
