Baby Mabel on Katie Crafts; http://www.katiecrafts.com — The first time I met Mabel she was but a month old. She fit right in my boot. We knew from that moment we had to have her, and adopted her a month later. She still likes my boots, but lays on them instead of in them now.

Today’s Playlist: Spring Fever

Today’s Playlist: Spring Fever

You probably don’t know this about me, but I’m quite the mixed-tape-master. I love a good playlist and this one is a super fun and upbeat one. The sun is shining, the weather is lovely, and I’m going to see one of my favorite bands tonight so I’m in a great mood! Here is what I’ll be jamming to as I work today, so you can sing along if you like! Continue reading Today’s Playlist: Spring Fever
