2025 has been a journey, one where I can admit I self sabotaged on me many times.

The roundness of the plant pot for my snake plant. I can admit, as much as I love photographing plants in nature, I don’t exactly have a green thumb! Snake plants are so generously forgiving for that ;) They work well in our home. Ironically, our last name also means snake, so perhaps just fitting!Continue reading “How to Survive November 2025 | 16”
