My name is Leslie and this is my blog about the Simple Sweetness of life. Sounds cheesy, I know. This is my attempt at showing that things can be simple. I love to craft but get easily frustrated, I like the idea of cooking but I'm not great in the kitchen so I want to get better and above all I want to keep things simple.
