I was sent a dozen cookies for Valentine’s Day and that will top a dozen flowers or … More Milk Jar Cookies
After spending way too much time staring at the same apartment for months and months, I decided to spend the beginning of 2021 slowly changing up the decor to at least give it a fresh appearance and trick my mind into thinking I’m somewhere new.

Katie Sturino is one of my favorite follows on Instagram.
