With all the uncertainty going on right now, there is a lot of negativity surrounding everything. I for one am refusing to let 2020 be remembered as the year of jumanji and all things horrible. I had started this year with a relatively small bucket list, but as Summer quickly approached I began adding more... Continue Reading →
Letting My Preschooler Dye Her Hair

The Fitting Room
