A Day with Strength and Dignity – Part 4

The Rest of our Outings I used my $2.50 store credit. How could I let the credit expire? It’s like throwing money away, right?

Nursery Wall Decor – Part 2

Claire’s Crib I love the feel of a pieced together home style. A little of this and a little of that. New with the old. Pastels with the bold. Claire’s sheets are white with multi-colored polka-dots.
