Hiya all! How is it already April? What this means, is that we start gearing up for Summer Stash Vlogs!!! The first Episode of the Summer has already gone up on YouTube.

Honestly, this year. I’m not too sure if I’m going to do anything other than the minimum goal for Stash Dash this year, as I’m in the “finish all the things” mindset this year. So I’ve been finishing a few things already.

Basically… April snuck the f’ up on me and I realized that I haven’t even had a vlog/podcast episode go up since the beginning of 2024. LOL.

I’m going to do my best to include & update the details on the projects I’ve been finishing. So… Here goes!

Update 5/8: Yet again.. The end of April snuck up on me.  Here’s the Vlogs that went up since I updated this blog.

Update 5/29: With Episode 7 going live, and the official kick-off of Stash Dash happening this past week… I thought it was time I added a bit more here. First off… A tracker for the yardage I’ve done so far that I’ll be updating up here as I start finishing the things…. I’ve put 10,000 this year, but I honestly will be happy with anything I finish this year. Wish me luck!!!

Update 8/28: Alright, ya’ll! I’m calling Stash Dash over for the year! Thanks for everyone who took this journey with me! I uh… Surpassed my goa (which was like 5,000 meters) VERY early on. I’m pleasantly surprised with what I was able to finish this Summer!!! This will be my final update!!! See ya’ll soon!
