Uploaded November 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
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 weeks of October 27-November 2, 2025.
The bulk of this week was a trip to the Florida Keys - not much studio time.
If you are enjoying these or want to see anything in particular, please let me know in the comments.
