Mom of 3 Crafty Kids

So I decided to dress up a bit to work this morning. Maybe I should have also put on makep????  Nah maybe later today. It does feel good to be dressed up again. Make sure you are taking time to enjoy the things you have. 

I started this blog post back in Feb 2020....but we all know what happened.
