If you’re interested in keeping up with even more taxgirl excitement (including some extra polls and discussion), please follow…
I was on Good Day Philadelphia this morning! And yes, I move around a lot. And yes, my hair is tucked behind my ear funny. And yes, Sheinelle really is that pretty in real life. And yes, I was super nervous. To quote my mom on the phone afterward, “Kelly, honey, I don’t think you…
