I’ve been thinking about homemaking more and more recently. It’s been creeping up on me the past couple of years that this is an area I want to improve in. I want to have established routines so I don’t have to think about...
I did quite a bit of sewing this morning while Dom took Bella to Home Depot. This afternoon I helped him put soil into our raised beds. Hopefully we’ll be able to transfer the plants tomorrow. If it doesn’t rain too much. This evening my...
