Can you believe that 2012 is almost over? This year has flown by. I spent a third of it in bed with mono and have been trying to make up for lost time. I’ve almost entirely given up my music – playing and teaching flute lessons. It makes me sad but there are other priorities…

Lots of thoughts… Millie’s had slight laryngeal paralysis for a few years but it’s starting to get much worse lately.

Let’s me know if you’re attending the conference! My favorite part about SoMeT is geeking out with feel Tourism Geeks. It…

It’s definitely fall in the Midwest! Spending a few days off from work feels incredible! It’s FINALLY here! My CVBs on Pinterest: October Update blog post. I spent 3 days with the most adorable little kids. It was exhausting but so much fun! I was also able to spend some much-needed time with my camera.…
