The Dream Me
Autumn has rolled into Huntsville and I’m torn. We’ve got so much going this year, stuff I’ve been referencing as “Fall” that I’m supposed to be doing, and Fall is here and I don’t have the time to do it all and suddenly these cool, cloudy days are sending me into CRAZY PANIC ATTACKS. GIVE ME MY SUMMER BACK! I’m not READY yet…JEEBUS. I’ve taken some of your advice lately and been trying to turn nightly tea into a ritual.... Read More
I did it! I’m soaked! And it was kinda AWESOME!

(SIDENOTE: This is not the first time I’ve been inspired by a blogger to do something crazy. I wrote here about how... Read More
I Miss My Glue Gun.
I’ve been busier since school started back than I ever have been before in my life. And I worked full-time as a single Mom college student. I look at my life and see the changes from the summer and realize very quickly where my priorities lie. I’ve stopped doing crafts entirely. I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday for an errand for E’s theatre department and didn’t get anything for myself. I ALWAYS NEED STUFF AT HOBBY LOBBY. Not this time. Haven’t... Read More
