A peak into life this last month… family visits, improving weather, the claydown launch, QOTN prep. Not featured— HFM, strep throat and a migraine. Life is full of balance.

Coming into June, I feel excited for our next vendor booth at Northern Skies Wellness fair, I have some fresh ideas for the business and hoping to slow down a little for the month. June is my favourite month of the year with my birthday at the start and my daughter’s at the end. Warm days, comfortable nights, and a feeling of change

A very happy happy happpppppyyyyy birthday Stacey, Mom, G, darling and delightful

You hold the world up ❤️
