Mom’s Afternoon Out
My husband has had a lot going on lately and that means I was in desperate need of a break. Yesterday, my husband stayed home with the kids and gave me the afternoon out. Woo-hoo! While I was looking through the piles of junk at my favorite antique haunt, I had a thought that I needed […]
Cupcakes & Craig’s List
First of all, I am a guest contributor over at The Design Confidential today, so be sure to check it out! I know it’s cruel, but I couldn’t help sharing this picture. I have taken a lot of flack from the teenagers who hang out at our home ( my hubby is a youth pastor) for […]
Design Consultation Finalists – You Vote!
I had an amazing response to my call for guinea pigs willing to allow me to consult on their spaces and I just couldn’t pick one. I settled on eleven that appealed to me because of the challenge they offered, their potential, or they just piqued my interest. So, I need your help to pick […]

Everything is for Sale
Guess what is on its way to Canada right now? Did you guess correctly? It’s my antique chicken feeder that I found at a killer yard sale. I wasn’t planning on selling it, but someone asked to buy it, so it’s on the way. And guess what’s getting on a bus on Monday to find a […]
A Little “Play” Time
I was supposed to go to Six Flags today with a bunch of teenagers, but the heat index today was over 103 degrees, which was way to hot to spend outside all day with my two toddlers, so we stayed home. Around lunch time, when my husband was between roller coaster rides, he called me. “What […]
