The end of the year is approaching. It’s a perfect time for taking stock and making changes. For me, this year, that means updating my blog. (I still have the same theme and photos that I used the day I started my blog in October 2014!) It’s time for a remodel. I will be taking…
Sometimes the ideas just don’t come. I was in that situation last week, so I took a blogging break. No big deal. But this week, I really want to post something…and I do have a couple of starts…but nothing that I’m feeling excited about. So before I pursued one of those half-baked ideas, I thought…
