Slice of Life Day 17: The Ikea Effect
I’m convinced Ikea has found a way to time travel because I spend more time in that place than any other store! We went to Ikea yesterday afternoon for one specific thing, a cute little rolling cart to organize my office space and to get a few ideas for a…

It was 70 degrees yesterday and one of those glimpses into spring that just makes everyone in a good mood. It also got me thinking how much I’m looking forward to planting my garden this year! I grew up gardening with my parents. Both of whom have green thumbs –…
