A lot of blog worthy things have happened lately, but I just can't bring myself to chronicle most of it. I'm torn between wanting to document every meaningful moment to save & keep in perfect condition to pull out and adore later in all its detail, but not wanting to trivialize those moments and turn them into souvenir snow globes.
