A Classic Housewife in a Modern World

Hello, Friday! Another weekend is here. Our plans? Not much. This was “the week of very little sleep.” Last night, for the first time in at least a week, I actually got 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep! One night really isn’t enough to recover from a week though – so I’m really hoping for a repeat tonight.

Since I missed last week, I really have a lot of good stuff for ya. I think I’ll try to categorize it a bit. Here goes!
