The fella’s favourite birthday cake is carrot cake with a cream cheese icing. It’s what his mother used to make him.

If you read Friday’s post then you know I’m on vacation this week, but … you’re still getting posts courtesy of the chickens and my new Coop Cam. The Coop Cam goes live at 9:00 a.m. E.S.T today! Not a great day to do this. It’s May 13th and what should be a beautiful time [...]

I’ve officially had it. I’m done. I need a vacation. Don’t misunderstand; I love my job. I literally wake up every single morning excited about what I’m going to do that day. I write, I photograph, and I create all day long. Every day. Every single day of my life. Day in and day out. [...]
