Lemon Blueberry Scones
Oh sweet Jesus.
Years ago, I was working a job full of horribly boring tasks and delightfully interesting people. One of these people was an intern named Maile. Maile was beautiful. Very thin and petite.

Hi there!
Are you a girl? A woman? An older sister? Teacher? Horseback riding instructor? Awesome aunt? Mother?
Are you any of those things to a younger girl? Or even someone your age?
Then I have great news! YOU MATTER.
Everything you DO matters to the girl in your life. Everything. How you style your hair. How you teach a lesson. How you explain posting a trot. Everything. You do. Matters.
