Monthly Inventory: February 2019

February 2019 Well, it’s no surprise that the shortest month of the year seemed to fly by! For me, February was a weird mix of things. I moved closer to work in January so I’ve been using every spare moment since then unpacking, painting and setting up my ideal living space. I try to read …

Monthly Inventory: October 2018
