This vlog is my attempt to document and share my daily struggles and successes balancing life as an artist, housewife, and woman along the Alabama Gulf Coast. This video documents the week of May 4th-11th. We were on vacation this WHOLE WEEK. So, there is very little art. I hope you will forgive me.
