I am juggling a lot in my life right now, and viewing the creative work of others really gives me hope and something (better) to strive for in terms of quality of life and enjoying ones family. I have seen so many inspiring thinkers that are also great mothers and nurturers, it makes me proud to know there are women out there who succeed outside of the daily grind of the corporate world. As cheesy as it sounds, It brings warmth to my heart.lovely*retro*househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09307209754750015695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351644930286151865.post-36486971596264243872011-05-30T16:32:53.421-05:002011-05-30T16:32:53.421-05:00I love that everything handmade is unique and ther...I love that everything handmade is unique and there isn't another like it!
