It’s been a while since I posted, but let me tell you, we have been busy! We had a baby, and have really been sprucing up the house interior. Check out these picture rails, they can really hold some art: Also, I guess I should sweeten the post as I … Continue reading
Hi everyone! This is a little different for the blog, but I started to type it up for social media and realized that it was going to run long, and I wanted to include links and inline images. First things first, spoiler alert. If you haven’t watched The Expanse seasons … Continue reading
