If you’re reading this you can obviously see that my website is brand spankin’ new. I said buh-bye to the pastels and watercolor and hello to punchy, bold colors and lots of whimsy! Through a questionnaire at the start of our working relationship, my designer (Kristen Ashton of Still Pixels) gained so much information from […]
With the entire world just a plane ride away, choosing a honeymoon destination can be overwhelming.
