♥ 'tis the season for soup.

hello dolls! it has been way too long.

i wish i could tell you i was doing something constructive

with my free time, but with the waning daylight hours,

the craziness of retail life, and taking care of the cutest baby 

on earth, i have been doing not much else.

perfect for cold nights like the ones we have been having
