First Step: do not get your hardware from a big box store if you can help it. Why? Because they lack personality. Everyone will have the same look in their kitchen. And it's way more fun to support small shops with far greater quality for the same price (or less!)....
To all of my fellow fur and baby mamas; women who lovingly mother (in any capacity) other ladies' babies, Godmamas, and friends who care for their own mothers, I'm celebrating you today. I know it may look different this year, but I hope you can find joy in this...
