A New Month, A New Look!

The Blog It's a new month, and I'm so happy to be starting it off by launching my new and improved blog. I'm very excited about the new look and improved features! The decision was made to have my blog professionally redesigned at the end of the summer. I really wanted a site that better reflected my personal style. I had a vague idea of what I was looking for in terms of aesthetics and ...
