What? A week? It’s been a week since my Last Brilliant Post? How does such a thing happen? I’ll tell you how it happens. You just go ahead and live a little of your life and your blogging time diminishes to a little sparkly crystal of preciousness which you hold near your heart and stare...

XO Becca  It’s totally okay with me if you’re getting tired of this. It really is. I know. There’s only so much of someone else’s cheeriness that a normal person can stand. For today, I’m giving you a list of 21 things that make me glad. Just to change things up. 1. It’s snowing. (Yes, it’s really... Yesterday was a day off school. Shall we discuss how much I love days off school? Oh, yes. Let’s. I love them. I stayed in bed until after seven. Then I did some junk, then I got back into bed. With Harry Potter. You know what I mean. Then I hung out while Kid 1... |
