Summer Craft Project This wreath is incredibly special to me. I made it a craft night I got invited to when I first moved here and didn’t know anyone. Being the introvert that I am, I was SO nervous to go, but I’m so glad I did! Some of the ladies at that craft event have...
Training Sadie As anyone with a dog can probably tell you, there’s more to training than “sit” and “come.” Even knowing that going into it, we were still not entirely prepared.
