I had the privilege of witnessing something extraordinary two weeks ago when I was visiting my family in Northern California. My dad just finished a green house/outdoor deck project on the house I grew up in. A couple of little sparrow-type birds took up residence in one of the corners of the new structure. In [...]
(I think 90% of my Wordless Wednesday pictures are of feet…I just love little boy feet!) This photo is part of the 5 Minutes for Moms Summer Fun Photo Contest. Chrissie at Flipflops and Applesauce interviewed me for her “Spill It” series this week. Check out her cute blog…she has tons of creative craft and [...]
How important is a simple “thank you” to you? Such a simple gesture…just two little words. But what a difference they can make. One of the coolest exhibits at BlogHer this year was the team of Peggy Post (great-granddaughter of Emily Post) and merci European Chocolates. I’ve always been a big Emily Post fan and [...]

Delphine from Steeping Beauty contacted me about redesigning her blog. We created a new header, did some WordPress template color matching and reformatting. Delphine does tons of reviews on international beauty products and has some great information to share. She was super fun to work with! Check her out…
You know the feeling you get when something bad has happened, but you don’t realize the full extent of it until later? That feeling of one second more and… or a centimeter to the left and…you play the what if game over and over? I’ve had that experience along with the rest of my extended family for [...]
I found this in my suitcase on my trip to BlogHer. I would expect this from my oldest or youngest, but not necessarily my middlest. How sweet is that child?
