AUTHOR

  • MeWelcome to Glim. My name is Priscilla and this is my (somewhat) daily journal. I'm twenty-six and I live with my boyfriend in the Netherlands. We're expecting a baby boy in October and we share our home with a cat and a bunny. I work parttime and in my spare time I enjoy reading, writing, crafting, sleeping... pretty much all the usual.
