I have to tell you a secret, but you have to promise to not get mad. The truth is, I make a lot of things that I never get around to blogging about. I know, shocking. It’s not that they’re not good, or that the photos didn’t turn out, it’s just that the act of…

Oh Dandy It’s Candy
Can I take a moment before I begin to just say I am SO glad that it is finally June. I feel like May came and ran me over like a Mack truck. Don’t get me wrong, it was full of good things, but I was left exhausted and feeling (and possibly looking) like roadkill….
