I hope all y'all had a happy Mother's Day weekend! The boys and I went to my parents' house and had the best time. I got Mom this metal butterfly art from The Metal Man at Bella Rustina: Mom at first told me she had forgotten to get me something for Mother's Day (I...
I took the boys to Toad Suck Daze last Saturday. We spent the majority of our day at the little petting zoo filled with rabbits, goats, chickens, and puppies. I'm not a big fan of petting zoos because of the stress on the animals, but the boys are huge fans....
In March I missed the first sale of Robin Apple's estate due to having a show and was super sad I had to miss it. I was excited to find out that a second sale was to happen last weekend. Robin was a friend and I wanted to buy something from her estate to remember her...
