My Life, Unfiltered: Fun Things You Didn’t Know About Me.

There are so many things in this world that I truly enjoy doing, but writing and sharing my life with all of you is high up there on the list. I love talking to anyone that asks (and some don't lol) about design, great recipes, and getting out in the world and seeing it, so having this lifestyle blog really allows me to connect with you all, and the best part is that you are loving it too.

I thought it would be fun to do a little "get to know me" segment. To keep it semi-short, I have condensed it down to my top 3 per category.

Let's get to it:
