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 12-18th as we adjusted to having a new puppy in the house, recovered from vacation, and tackled the yard. I also worked on the roller coaster ride of feeling and being creative.

If you are enjoying these or want to see anything in particular, please let me know in the comments.
