clean my studio
Work in Progress finally Complete!

I’ve been ill the past couple of months and needed so inspiration in my studio to get back into the groove. A couple months ago, my husband rearranged the room based off my feedback. And over the past couple of months, I’ve been slowly working at getting it put back together. Breaking in chunks helps, but dedicating a couple hours today help me finally finish.



file my taxes
Much earlier than prior years

In anticipating refinancing our house this year, I got our taxes done. Woo hoo!
