Things That Made Me Smile This Weekend
New shelves constructed in an old ironing board cabinet…a home for my salt & pepper collection, which has been boxed up since we got married (thanks Michael!). And cookies from the BonBonerie…yummy!
Hoppy Easter!

Trouble
I just can’t help but laugh sometimes. This is Sam sitting in time-out after he forgot the rule about keeping markers on paper. #samstyle
