A girl and her cat take on the world with nothing more than a cup of tea and a good book and enough dreams to fill the universe.
I have to admit that I'm in a bit of a reading slump right now. I powered through my young adult novels from the libraries in town and now, I don't want to read anything.

I have recently really struggled with finding the motivation and time to blog and I thought to myself that if I am going to require it of someone else, I had better be able to require...
