I forgot you are a country music fan!
Thanks for playing along, Sara! I TOTALLY get your pen and notebook obsession! My middle child inherited this, and a recent weekend room-cleaning turned into a “find a place for 1,000 cute notebooks” event!
Love your answers….you crack me up. Also, I LOVE your new blog design!!! It’s great!
I have an unhealthy pen/notebook obsession too. And water bottles! I’ve been tagged 3xs so I have to get writing!
Thanks for tagging me! I’ll get to work this evening!
BTW, Blake Shelton’s “Austin” is one of my all time favorites! 🙂
