Domestic checklist
—
in LiveThis makes me feel more adult adult, even if some of it are problems that I would probably be better off not worrying about, you know?

Everything all at once
—
in LiveI’ve been frequently distracted these days (and nights). Sometimes I’m looking at houses for sale, checking out suburbs that we can call home.
