slow mornings, simple joys

It’s that time of the year! The time where we all shed tennis shoes and boots for flip-flops and sandals. Of course if you have feet that look like mine you may not want to show off yours. My heels are cracked and honestly my feet look horrible. I don’t know why. I have tried…
