I love link backs (hint hint) - seeing new hex projects is super fun. Look at… Read More
It’s official - we’re moving to Texas. It’s actually been official for a few weeks and things have been pretty crazy around here - hence the total lack of blogging. The movers come on Tuesday, and I’m totally unprepared. Luckily, they’re doing all the packing. Lucky for me, anyway. For them - not so lucky.… Read More
