Since I started running I wanted to have a way to display my bling. I found a few items around the house and got to making one. I had a few requirements: I wanted it to hold both bibs & medals, I wanted it to say Celebrate Every Mile, I wanted to be able to …
June is definitely one of my favorite months in the flowerbeds. Here’s some of what’s blooming now & why I love this time of year:
