Earlier this month, Jacque, Josslyn, and I were wisked away on a two day whirlwind trip to New York City. But this wasn’t your average, ordinary family trip to NYC.

All Things Creative – Summer Edition
All Things Creative – Summer Edition During the summer months most of us are busy. Does the term “Running around like a chicken with their head cut off.” sound familiar? I know for me it does! I don’t mind the craziness of the summer, it’s always welcome in my life! This summer will be full […]
