Not going to lie: I’m terrible at self care. It’s something I advise often, make sure my kids understand, and promise myself I’ll do, but I don’t often follow my own advice. But, hey, I often also say: Progress Not Perfection. Maybe I just need some time (and some cute accessories) to remind myself toContinue reading “Spa Set Free Pattern”

Free Pattern: the Asana Leg Warmers
I can’t tell you how much joy it brings me to offer a NEW free pattern on my blog.
