Fall-ing Away
I’m finally layering in little touches of fall decor around the house, and taking the time to nurture my home and simultaneously a part of my heart again. It feels like it’s been a spell since I truly nurtured my home, but that can happen when your heart feels overwhelmed and overburdened, so I am…

Last year’s wolf transforms into this year’s elegant vision in blue … Cinderella!

Halloween 2016 | Part I | Marty McFly
It hardly seems possible that an entire year has flown by since I last wrote here. It has been a season of change and growth in many ways, and also simply a very busy year for me, but I will be returning to the space shortly because I am itching to be writing again. In…
