“Surrendering”

Ok, on to what I’ve been trying to get a second to write about forever: My biggest epiphany from Women’s Conference.

Invitation

Ok, so here’s the deal. There’s this store here that is awesome. It’s called Domestic Bliss. And that’s what it is…pure domestic bliss. There are some gorgeous things there.
