All my life I have always had a passion for art and design. I was always drawing, coloring, or creating something. After highschool I continued that passion into college and recieved a bachelors degree in art and design. As of now I have had art published in magazines, featured in stores for purchase, in art shows, created logos for businesses, and now designing art for print on demand products or digital downloads. I also design journal covers for Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. Not to mention countless craft projects. This list has my favorite designed products, art I love that inspire me, and supplies to start designing on your own. It is never too late to follow your passion, just take that first step and go for it.

My favorite type of video games are RPGs (Role-playing games) and list catalogs RPG games that I can highly recommend for the PS5. It is important to note that several games on this list are playable on other consoles, so I've done my best to mention that where applicable. I do enjoy JRPG's the most, so many recommendations will be those with a couple others like FRPG's (French Role-playing games) thrown in.

My list of anime's that I really love. There is no particular order as they are all my favorites. Anime is the Japanese word for animation, so whatever is listed in here is an animation. Many people assume anime is only Japanese cartoons which is totally not true. Star Wars Rebels is considered an anime. I watch Japanese anime in sub always and recommend you do the same. The anime's in here I have watched all the available episodes. I am also including movies as well. There are no spoilers because nothing pisses me off more than someone who spoils the joy of me watching the show myself. Don't be a spoiler. If you have any recommendations, please leave a comment as I am always looking for new anime's to watch.

I'm an avid “storm watcher” and have memories of standing with my father on the deck looking at the skies and talking about the clouds. A “bucket list” item for me would be to go on a Tornado Tour. During Storm season it is not uncommon for me to have 3 to 4 devices going with all different chasers and my attention glued to them. These are my favorite storm chasers that I follow both out on the road and behind the radar that have helped to educate me and excite my passion over the years. Stay Weather Aware!

Through trial and error, these are the games we tend to keep coming back to when we have a large group of friends or family or gathering. These are the easiest to explain nd get up and running ASAP as not to lose the attention/interest of guests trying to over explain complicated rules. This allows the group to monitor how the rules are followed, instead of having to assign a referee who understands all the potential nuances. That way, everyone gets equal play time and way less stress. Not to mention, these could also be turned into a version of play where liquid courage is involved as either a bonus or a consequence for those aged 21+. When we attempt to learn a more difficult game (like Wingspan), we tend to always end up playing one of these to close out the night. Hope you enjoy the giggles these produce as much as we do!
