Okay, so this “daily” prompt might be a couple of days late…whoops. It would be wrong of me to lie and say I always let the kids I babysit win when I play games with them.

Over my spring break my roommate and I, Hannah, visited my aunt and uncle out in California.

Someone else is probably stumbling around the kitchen drying to create some delicious tasting treat. While all of these thingsContinue reading “A Word A Week Challenge: Dance”
