I know my website has been a little bit quiet lately, but that’s not to say that I haven’t been busy! (My family embarked on a crazy and amazing adventure remodeling our home…) After having moved back into our house after six months, my life is slowly returning to normal. So what’s new then?

Sometimes it’s because I notice something that makes me laugh or reveals clues about a person’s character, or maybe a particular detail will capture my imagination and prompt me to dig…
