The Soul Mending Society Week 2: Mending Home and Family
Week 2 is here and we are focusing on the challenge of Mending Home and Family. Let's talk first about Home. This last weekend I declared it "give some love to our home" Saturday.

That means if you choose to participate in this challenge (any time during the month of July) you can come back to this post and share what you did just for yourself. Simply leave a comment and share. That's it. Easy. Although...sometimes choosing what that one thing you are going to do for yourself isn't as easy as just leaving a comment about it.
