Spring Style Just in Time for Easter and Beyond
Ah, spring. That magical time of year when we collectively emerge from our winter gloom, blink at the sunshine like confused baby deer, and suddenly feel the urge to clean everything in sight.

40 Things That Are Giving Me Life Right Now

I do a roundup of these items every month and bring them to you.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
