Christmas in July, 2018
It’s a family tradition that we’ve had ever since I was little. In July we put up a small tree, make simple stockings out of paper, and have a night of family, Christmas music, and small gifts. Christmas as it is meant to be, instead of what it’s become. The tree was an absolute dream. My mother made these charming music-themed … Read More

Miss Murder’s House of Whimsy
There’s a ball wearing a crown, two bunny rabbits, and a steel drum. This “life” gig ain’t so bad.
Join Us for the #VegasStrong Book Signing!
Do you remember where you were during the mass shooting as Las Vegas? I do. A week before that, we had taken my 10-year-old down to that area for a concert.
