My house is a lot messier these days, and it's ok. Not that it's been easy to let the mess go but the reality of it being, I can't keep up with it anyways. The trials my family went through these past few months have really taught me about letting go of control. Control of … Continue reading My House is Messy, and it’s OK!
Moving on up (or out of?)
