gone...


Let's try this again. YES, I did it!

This is getting a little better. If only I did a better job centering the photo.

A note about the clothing - yes, my daughter is wearing a holiday sweater. For the record, I find these to only be appropriate for children. And yes, she is not wearing any pants, we're trying to potty learn over here, mmkay?

Received my apron from the Flirty Apron Swap

I received my cute apron today from my partner, along with the glittery red headband from Penny. Thanks so much!
