Resurrecting the Blog | Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I stepped away from blogging the last couple years because it was the most overwhelming feeling to me and I just never really knew where to start. I also questioned if people even read these anymore?! What I DO know is that it’s a great way to share my work and have my voice be […]
