I'll break the year up into quarters and then further break classes down by month. I'd like to study Catholicism (obviously. I … Continue reading Lifelong Student

Nothing fancy or professional, but making them is helpful.

I wrote about this on my Instagram, but I want to write more about it here. I have made a portable life. Scrapbooking, writing, art, reading, etc. can be done anywhere.
