    April 12, 2017 /

    I am so excited to share all of the things that we are currently working on here, that I don’t know where to begin!  It’s going to be such a crazy year with so many, many changes to come 🙂  I’m not sure how much we are going to be able to accomplish this year, but based on what we have been able to do so far, I’m feeling pretty good about the changes to come.   We had several things slow us down last year, most notably our little baby E, but he’s almost a year old now, and my energy level is in a completely different place than…
