These past few weeks have been so unbelievably busy (in a mostly fun way, of course!)

Pre-pandemic, whenever it would snow- I would almost always go out of my way to avoid being outdoors. Despite being a born and raised New Englander, I’ve never done well in cold temperatures.

My goodness, January- you are a force to be reckoned with!

January represents a new beginning and endless possibilities […]
