I like it.

Tonight, I a friend shared this on my Facebook. And I like it (and her) a whole darn lot.

(originally published on 511) What's better than having a strength symbol in your home? MANY strength symbols. More feathers!! So while our kiddo bathroom is slowly transforming into a bird sanctuary (with the peacock rug and birdcage light fixture) I have decided to add some very feathered wall paper to a surprise spot in our home.
