Happy St. Patrick's Day! Hopefully you've got something fun planned for the day and are wearing green so you won't get pinched. :) If you've never spent St. Patty's Day with Littles and a leprechaun, well you're missing out!

Apparently I'm really taking my personal goal to paint more this year to heart. :) I haven't been able to put away my watercolors lately and I have so many ideas for various projects involving watercolors I have started a list in my journal. Quite honestly? It's therapeutic. And I don't need good weather (because Lord knows THAT's in short supply!). And it doesn't require sanding or heavy lifting. Just a seat at my kitchen table and a cup … [Read more...]

March 5, 2014 by · 4 Comments
Ever notice how something little can make you warm and fuzzy on the inside? Something little like organizing a kitchen drawer, tulips in a vintage silver pitcher, or this... A citron green chevron rug for my kitchen. It also prompted me to wipe down my kitchen cabinets. Yowza. Needed to be done. :) Yes, thank you HomeGoods! I'm making little changes for spring (oh, spring, where ARE you??) and it's feeling pretty good. … [Read more...]
