Like so many others, I have jumped upon the Bullet Journal train. I started my BuJo (what die-hard fans call it) last year as a means of keeping art in my life while organizing the juggling of appointments, grad school, and managing a household. I’ve found my bullet journal to be the best way to …
Last week we went camping for the first time this year. Our Squish (who isn’t so little and Squishy anymore!) had a terrible camping experience last fall and we have been hesitant to go out again.

My little boy is now 5 months old, and I’m just starting to feel like I may be able to participate in activities I enjoyed prior to my pregnancy. Thankfully, I had no idea it would take this long to recover when I made the decision to try for a child! I don’t know that …
