life's simplest pleasures and life's greatest joys : all hung from a clothesline.
My preschooler graduated yesterday! I guess I should say he completed his first year. Summer break has begun and my life will be different.

I’m super excited to be joining a local Kitsap Blog Circle that will bring you some fun weekly posts.
