It’s back ya’ll! I stopped doing Grati-Tuesday a couple of months ago because I felt like it was getting old, and I wanted to figure out a way to make it more interactive or present it differently. While I was scrolling though Pinterest, I found this post from Text My Journal (which is a really cool idea actually!). The post … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”

I’m glad I didn’t, because I doubt anyone else had a picture like ours! + We’re finally done for real!
