2017 In Review & Plans For 2018

I haven't written a personal post in a while, because honestly they just don't get as many views as my other posts do.

15 New Year's Eve Party Ideas For Kids!

The moment I really started believing is when I saw the law of attraction work for me earlier this year.

I Opened An Etsy Shop!

This is a project I've been working on for a few weeks and It's finally live! It's going to primarily be a printables shop, but since I'm still in the process of photographing the product, I started with my yarn wall hangings!
