Have y'all ever made salt dough before? It's such a simple way to make small crafts or decor, and uses only three ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry-flour, salt, and water!

gratitude + grief
Tonight I sit in bed, wrapped up in my officer’s old academy sweatshirt, and begin winding down with some tea and plans to watch tv. I glance down at my mug and the word embezzled on the side.
