Another month has gone by, and that means it’s time for my monthly book review (no spoilers)! October was a wonderful month, which is why I only finished two books.

I have really dry lips, ladies. And I’ve tried all sorts of things to fix the problem. That’s why I’m almost sad that I only recently discovered homemade lip scrubs.

I can smell the crayons already. We’re wrapping up summer and starting to embrace back to school season for the first time in our household. So that’s why I felt a bit silly at first joining today’s Workin’ it Wednesday linkup from Shay and Erica . After all, Kai has only had a year of three-school, […] Read more…
I’m ridiculously excited about teaching you how to start a planner. It all began with the brain fog I experienced this summer.
