When I first started Little Grey Box (LGB), it felt like there wasn’t enough time for me to write all the things I wanted to write. I would write something and immediately want to share it, even if I’d already posted that day. It felt so good to write and I loved the outlet for … Read more
The first time I really travelled, a 6 week solo trip through Europe, I had a crappy digital camera. At the time I thought my photos were the bomb, now when I look back at them I cringe and wonder what the heck I was doing. When Matt and I were living in London and … Read more
