Hi there! Boy, has it been a few! I'm sorry I've been neglectful in posting updates here. Spring is a busy time of year for me currently with applying for jobs and preparing hopefully for interviews! Despite being very busy, I really wanted to make something fun to share for the spring season. I've been... Continue Reading →
Happy Sunday! I'm back again posting about food I've eaten recently, from snacks to home-cooked meals. I am not vegetarian or vegan by any means, but I have stopped eating dairy, and finding alternatives can be tough at times. I never realized how much of what I normally eat contained dairy!

To me, Valentine's is about making things yourself. I don't remember what I did growing up, but these days I'm all about making my own stuff.

So I got to thinking that it might be good to try making my own (also better for my budget). I've gotten a... Continue Reading →
Beginnings always feel so full of hope and potential. I look forward with anticipation whenever something is starting. Then as time goes on, I become weary easily. I lose confidence and forget all the hope I once held dear. Since I am practicing mindfulness this year, it seemed like a good idea to use this time to consider how... Continue Reading →
I Googled some Japanese landscapes to draw and found a picture taken by John Lander of Tsutenkyo Bridge in Koishikawa Korakuen Garden, Tokyo, Japan. I by no means do justice to the real thing, but I thought it turned out nice and was good practice! I want to attempt more landscapes this year.
