What’s Up: June 2023
Hi friends, welcome back! Hard to believe we’re halfway through the year already… The month started off feeling like I was living in some creepy sci-fi movie with all of the wildfire smoke.

Celebrating Jon’s Birthday – 2023

What’s Up: May 2023
Hi friends, welcome back! Jon and I are home from Italy and it was everything we dreamed of and so worth the wait. We already miss our almost daily gelato, the peacefulness of Positano, the charm of Florence, and the amazing sites in Rome. We didn’t want to leave, but it’s always good to be…
