November 2, 2017 by Katy Fetters Leave a Comment

Lately, I’ve often felt uninspired to write here because I seem to be on my computer and phone every day for graduate coursework & I am burnt out on screen time! I am sure many of you can relate, so I hope you don’t hold it against me.  For what it’s worth, I love how … [Read more…]
