Living Room – Finished?
After staying up late last night, I had a “finished” room. I walked my husband through it this morning and he smiled and proclaimed, “Wow, this room is done!” I realized I felt uncomfortable with the proclamation. “Um…well, it’s about 90% done. I still need to…” and I proceeded to rattle off a list of […]
New Dining Table
My friend Donna sent me an e-mail today commenting on the fact that I am busy working on my house and have totally neglected to decorate for Christmas. Yes, that’s true. We do have our tree up, which half the lights are out and there are hardly any ornaments below three feet (my boys keep […]

Raising a Creative Kid
I’ve had several people ask where I came from (in a figurative sense)…including my parents! A few months ago, one of my readers suggested that I share how to raise a creative child. Well, my boys are still toddlers, so we’ll see how well I raise creative kids, but I can tell you how my […]
