She also has created what is now I favorite tag ever. (And I get the bragging rights to be tagged first muhahaha)… Continue reading The Simple Things Tag
Today the sky seems to be stolen from a 1950s film: Blurry gray. No blue. Rainy days sometimes can be disheartening being stuck inside with little natural light and a yellow glare from your bedroom lamp, but there are always things to do none the less. And maybe it isn't the fact that there aren't… Continue reading 10 little (somewhat random) things to do on a rainy day
