How about a sneak peek at a drawing I have been working on? I think my favorite part of working full-time is having a lunch break. A whole hour to myself. I should probably eat something during that hour, but I usually just sit at my desk and draw. This is one of several that…
Today I did something that I have been saying I would do for weeks and weeks. I biked home from work! It’s only 5 miles, which to hardcore bikers I’m sure sounds laughable. But for someone who is definitely not in the best shape, it’s a pretty big accomplishment. And it wasn’t so bad. Ok,…
Today I began a new chapter in my life. It was my very first official day back to work full-time! I have to admit, it is a huge relief mentally. I love my kids, and I enjoyed my time as a stay-at-home mom, but I feel like I’m just better at working. I’m actually good…

It is so late right now, and I am SO tired. Usually I am up this late without any thought of it, but lately I have been falling asleep early. I think the road trip reset my sleep clock. Which is a good thing with the new job starting next week and all. The only…
June was so much fun. Especially since I spent almost half of it at home visiting my enormous family! I miss everyone, but it is so nice to be home. We did a ton of thrifting while I was in Connecticut, it was awesome. Within the first two weeks of June, I finished two…
