As summer inches to a close I am ready to celebrate everything summer gave and embrace all that autumn has to offer. Autumn is always my favorite and most cherished season. The season I write the most, draw the most and feel centered. And the color palette of harvest is so lovely I just love it. #celebrateseasons

For my 40th bday I have had many mini celebrations

For my 40th bday I have had many mini celebrations with some of my favorite people. A cake fight with my boys, an art retreat with my college besties, a Bayfield road trip and photoshoot with my elementary school bestie, an Alanis concert with my mom besties, and a tree fort escape with my sweet husband. What a beautiful experience. I'm so thankful for this year of special memories. #treehouse @hopeglenfarmandtreehouse

Like the mighty thistle, please remind everyone yo

Like the mighty thistle, please remind everyone you know, that just because someone/something is pretty it doesn't mean you can touch it/them, and remind them they also don't owe anyone anything. Just because someone thinks you're pretty doesn't mean they have a right to your time, mind or body. It's good to be picky, or in thistles case, prickly. ;)

Whenever I see rocks I have the overwhelming urge to climb them. I love the thrill of going up, the view at the top and the challenge of getting myself back down. Lol 😂 ☠️ never stop exploring life with good people by your side.
