The first thing I do after settling into our cottage at Canoe Bay, head for the library, of course. I look forward to visiting Canoe Bay’s library more with each visit.

Accountability helps achieve goals. Just when I want to quit, I turn to those that support me. My family keeps me on track to reach my goal. There are times I regret this decision to do 100 blog posts in 100 days. I have a LONG way to go, 83 days to be exact. But I…

A day spent at the Kohler Water Spa is a day well spent. I schedule a day at the Kohler Waters Spa several times each year. This particular spa day just happened to be two weeks before my due date. There isn’t a better reason to get a maternity massage. The only reason, I guess. This…

Pull up a seat, we have a lot to talk about. I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching over the last two years. When looking back, I see I’ve made progress. I still have a long way to go, but there’s no turning back. I’ve come too far. Studio L Photography was founded in…
