If there’s one creature on this earth that has mastered the fine art of relaxing, it’s my cat.

Signs That Spring Has Officially Taken Over My Life
Every year, spring sneaks in like a polite but persistent houseguest—showing up just when I’ve made peace with winter and demanding that I start cleaning, planting, and pretending to be an energetic person again.

Learning to Sew – My New Hobby
