Every week at K-Media has its own rhythm: part digital strategy, part paint-splattered studio time, part “figure it out as I go.” This week felt like all of that at once, but in a good way.

Art, Inspiration, and the Studio Chaos I Love

A lot of my energy went into painting again. I finished my oil painting class at the Saint John Art Centre and started a few acrylics, small paintings of some of my favourite vintage dresses.

Fella (my tiny, bossy Shih Tzu) has decided he’s the studio manager now. Every morning he has opinions about whether I should paint, redesign a website, or simply move around the room to entertain him. Somehow, this actually helps.

Website Work: Making K-Media Feel Like Me

This week, I spent a ton of time tightening up my website, simplifying the homepage, refining the copy, adjusting WooCommerce layouts, fixing blog headers, and cleaning up CSS so everything finally behaves.

I do this, it seems, about once a year. 

Google My Business, SEO, and a New Download

I brought my K-Media Google My Business listing back to life after a long break. That meant sorting out my service area, choosing a warmer background, updating my cover photo, and rewriting my bio.

I also released a new NB-centric digital download: a Google My Business Guide for Small Businesses in New Brunswick. Clean, simple, and practical.

Experience New Brunswick: Always Growing, Always Tweaking

Experience NB is never far from my mind.

This week I:

• worked on staycation-themed blog ideas
• Sourced artists to profile in 2026
• continued planning how to move from 10k monthly users toward 25k+

It’s a lot, but it’s the work that lights me up.

Snackable Mental Health

I also spent time helping Brandon W. Hahn with his CEO updates, his website, and a growing list of topics for free or low-cost community workshops he wants to roll out in Northumberland County.

Snackable Mental Health is slowly becoming its own little ecosystem, and watching it take shape is exciting.

Personal Notes: Routines, Goals, and Quiet Wins

I’m working on building more structure into my days, like earlier mornings with a book, focused work blocks for K-Media and Experience NB, and an afternoon window reserved (in theory) for the treadmill.

Some days I hit everything. Some days I don’t. But I keep going.

And honestly? That counts.

Heading Into the Weekend

As I’m finishing this post, I’m just about to head uptown Saint John for some Christmas shopping, a little break before the next round of painting, writing, SEO fixes, and everything else that makes this strange mix of work feel like mine.

Here’s to another week of building things, trying things, and making New Brunswick a little more visible in the world – one blog, brushstroke, and website tweak at a time.
