seven {more} things my #Allume roomies should know about me
Last year, I shared 10 things that would let my roommates get to know me a bit better {and a vlog}. This year, I’m sharing a few more things with my NEW roommates, Katie from Wonderfully Made, Jennifer from Jennifer’s Life Between, and Wynter from the Made To Mother Project.

Wrinkles (why I’m not writing a book right now) {takeaways from #allume}
