In this episode, Sarah and Lessy give you the low down on why they've been so MIA. We're talking babies, baptisms and love letters inspired by Pride and Prejudice. On the creative front, Sarah has made some serious progress with her manuscript and Lessy has continued to dip in and out of creating and community.
