Hi, I’m Donna. I have been chronicling my life in great detail and creating videos since pre-Y2K.

What does this mean? It just means I’m old. 😉

A bit about us…

Hubby is an avid outdoorsman. Some of his favorite activities include hiking, camping, and water sports.

My 11-year-old daughter, K, is homeschooled, enjoys going to the beach, getting outdoors, playing with friends, creative writing, drawing, watercolor painting, creating digital art and video-making.

I am a working mom trying to balance homeschooling, parenting, and taking care of my 85-year-old dad. I enjoy reading, writing, making lists in my BuJo, organizing all the things, and trying to stay one step ahead of my daughter in technology. (I have my IT degree and still find it difficult sometimes.)

We hope you enjoy hanging with us!
