Last year sometime I bought this gorgeous print off of Etsy, and then was bummed out for months when I discovered that it got lost in the move. I so vividly remember carefully packing it in a folder, making sure…

We Can Do It

There Never Was a Normal

I’ve been quieter here than I anticipated when I announced my return. Current events and a global pandemic threw all our plans up in the air and laughed. I’ve struggled with knowing exactly what to say. I’m in a very…
