Need a little “pretty” today?
I do. I was fully intending to post pictures and instructions for Tiny Town, but I can’t make myself do it. I’ve been in a dilemma ever since my landlord said we can paint the living room and kitchen. I keep going back and forth on colors and where to move everything! Yes, a little [...]
Why Parenting is Rewarding
I just finished laying my two daughters down to bed and I sang our traditional, “Baby’s Boat A Silver Moon.” I was drawing on Siri’s back (my five year old), and when I finished the song, I told them good night, I love them, and was about to leave the room. Siri said, “Stop Mom! [...]
My New Mini-Office Space & Free Tag Download
I have to call it a space because that is what it is. It’s not a room. It’s not a studio. It’s a space. A 4 feet x 6 feet bit of space to be exact (if you count all of the rug). It located in my bedroom (something I don’t recommend, but under current [...]

Airport Conversations
Have you ever sat next to a conversation you NEVER wanted to listen to, but alas, there you were completely stuck. Tonight at the Long Beach airport (on my way to Salt Lake), I got stuck listening to a 20-something year-old conversation. It was like watching The Hills but in real life, and I hate [...]
