Thoughts & Musings
There are so many things I’ve thought about being or doing with my life. I often find myself saying, “I could totally do that.” I think I get that from my mom. Ever since I can remember, when we would go to craft shows, or see something online, my mom would instantly deconstruct the item and whisper something to me along those same lines. “We could totally make these and sell them” was a common phrase I heard...
