Duendesday: Re-visitations

Duendesday: Constant change
{life with a curious and crazy almost 14 yr old} She’s such a fancypants in so many ways, and then such a slobby kid in others (ha!). I like to call Duende my little Ronja because even when she’s dressed to the nines, she likes to have her knife tied around her waist when sheContinue reading “Duendesday: Constant change”
