Stacking Strength

I hope you all had a nice Memorial Day weekend! I spent the day with friends and family, so that’s why I didn’t post anything yesterday.

Guest Post: Sunsets

A sweet friend of mine sent me this e-mail over the weekend, and I thought it was such a good picture that I asked if I could share it with you all.  She and I have a thing where whenever we see a beautiful sunset, we tell the other person about it, or send a…
