I’m such a sneaky wife. For someone who can’t keep a secret, I freaked my husband’s freak on Sunday. My bestie Berta inherited a stray kitten that was meandering around her house. After twenty minutes of holding her, I could tell that it was a sign. Our landlords are so pleased with us, they graciously…

a little picture I’ve been racking my brain for something new and exciting for a DIY project, and haven’t been able to find that spark the last couple weeks. Finally, this morning I felt an urge to go to the dollar store, and it all came back. One thing I love more than perhaps life…
