In addition to lots of time taken up with the international move to Australia, I’ve been really focusing on making time for me.

Well, we made it. It’s the last few weeks of a beyond crazy year, and I’m officially on vacation from work for the next two weeks. And I can definitely use the break. I plan to spend it painting, crafting, and baking cookies.

As if it needs to be said one more time, 2020 has been a rough one. For me, it’s also been a year of growth, specifically related to finding my creative and artistic side again. And I’m happy to say that’s been a smashing success.

It really wouldn’t be summer 2020 without a little tie-dye fun now, would it? Of course not.

Winter is dreary, you guys. Even here in the sunny, coastal South, the skies are little more grey and the sun is a little less warm.

Can I get an “aarrrooooo"? Where are all my beagle peeps? I know you recognize that sound.

It’s no secret around here (or to anyone who knows me) that I have a beagle obsession. I want to rescue them all.
