Birthday break!

March 11, 2016

Good morning, my darlings,

I’m going to take a few days off to attend to my birthday festivities: the clock ticks over for me on the big three-oh this weekend(!!!).

I am lucky enough to truly love my life, now that I’m three decades into it, and I want to take a moment to appreciate and celebrate that fact.

I adore you all and I will be back next week with many more beautiful things to show you!

xoxo,
Becky
