The Daisy Field

Okay, so this took a little longer to write than I thought! I was sure I would get home from our little trip to Seattle, finish packing my bag for camp and sit down and write you an awesome blog!  HAHHAHAHAHHA Not even close.... Okay so just in case you live in a cave you need to go read the bloggess....any post will do but I really love this one:   http://thebloggess.com/2011/06/and-thats-why-you-should-learn-to-pick-your-battles/ This was the very first post of hers I read and then I had to go back and read all the other ones, she really is that funny!  I highly recommend subscribing to her feed.
