So I told you I would share in my journey of spreading some love and positivity this year. I have to admit its a little uncomfortable to share the journey – again, I’m not looking for pats on the back I just feel that now more then ever with all the negativity spreading around social … [Read more…]
So I have to admit it has taken me awhile to get my house back to normal decor wise after the Christmas season. I loved my Christmas decor so much and although I was ready to take it down, I’m afraid I got a case of the blahs when I looked around afterwards. Oh … [Read more…]
