A Year in Review | Wrapping up the strangest year of my life (thanks 2020)

Hello, my lovely lemons! Well, that was quite a year. I don't think that sentiment has ever been truer than it is at the end of 2020. Yet, when I look back through this year (beyond the dumpster fire it's been on the surface) I find quite a few good memories. I can certainly look …
