{Giveaway}: Hand-stamped jewelry is back!
Crafting is life, am I right? I used to run an Etsy shop for a lot of my various crafts, but it fell off the radar when I was pregnant with my son. My old craft room turned into his nursery, and then we moved to another house and priorities shifted again. Now, I’m happy […]

DIY herb garden
I’ve recently decided I’d like to try my hand at gardening. One day, I’d love to have a garden with fruits and vegetables, but for now, I started small.
