Happy Friday! Initially, I hadn't intended on posting today, but my son created something I promised I would share about.

Upcoming at The Lily Cafe #5

The Lily Cafe Digest #16

Dear Readers, things are a bit bumpy for me and my family, at least until mid-June, but I'm trying my best to deal with it with as much grace and flexibility as I can.
