Emily Marie is Me

62. Get a massage (6/25/19) I was so excited - and a little nervous - to finally get a massage! I had a window of no child and no work on this afternoon, and my stressed/sore body got dibs on what to do. I found a place in town with good reviews and a first-timer deal, so I booked it!

Missing:   tiger nut flour...I've been out all month and so I can't make my favorite AIP baked goods Needing :  a break...and for someone to tell me that everything I'm stressing about will work out...and a hug probably Pinning:   lots of perler bead layouts and cross stitch patterns to prep for a 30-day project I'm planning :) THE FOCUS GROUP 18.   Hang a gallery wall wi
