It’s all personal
I'm Kim and I have a few blogs (and perhaps an issue with over sharing, and too much time on my hands). My other two projects are www.fiftyfiftyvision.com and www.thisisplanbe.com. I also tweet at https://twitter.com/TheKimTackett and instagram at http://instagram.com/kimtackett. But here, it's all personal. I show up once a week, sometimes less, never more.

Trying to reset, before moving on. Alex is home, and our house has become her closet. But in a good way. She leaves for Amsterdam on August 12, and packed her first day here. I believe everything she owns is … Continue reading
