Last Week’s Links
Last week had three spectacularly delicious Mmm’s.
We began with Charmer by sharing her Reflection. What better use of a hotel room?
Next Kristian X narrated a vignette aptly named Gag Reflex. A short read, beautifully told.
And Barefoot finished off with Self-Tie Tuesday, where she recounts her returning to the fold and the prompts that got her there.
You can read all those Mmm’s and more here.
