Song Bird: Little Dragon

I thought I'd share one of my latest musical muses, Little Dragon. Their sound is pretty unique with soothing vocals, techy sounds and a little bit of funk. I've been really appreciating the Swedish electronic band's latest musical work "Ritual Union". Check it out if you can!

Holiday Recipe Recap

New things to come...

 

I am happy to report I'm finally getting back in the swing of things after what it seems like was a very long holiday! Although I've been on a small hiatus from blogging, I am thrilled and have lots of new things in the works! And of course will be back to posting more regularly.

Like many, I have some new goals and plans coming up in the year ahead. One of those big things on my to do list is getting the new BlueBirdee website up! The website is something I've been working on the past few months & I am confident enough to say it will be up very very soon! I am also working on getting the shop up and running where different prints and knick knacks of sorts will be available. On a more personal note, I will be moving so bear with me in the months to come. Of course I will continue to post as often as I can! I am so very excited for the steady amount of visitors I have received in such a short amount of time. Thank you for all the support and stay tuned :)
