February 1st, y'all. It crept up on me this year... there are so many people that feel like January drags on, but it flew by this year. Maybe because in January I ENJOY hunkering down and reading/binge-watching/resting. But January is also busy at school -- each day full of tours for prospective families and registration for next school year -- yes, NEXT school year! Also, quarterly meetings to prep and conduct, lots of planning, etc. So my … [Read more...]

Hello? Is this thing on? :) I had no intention of being away so long... but life happened and so here we are. I've been itching to dust off this space for a while, but was fearful the words wouldn't come. But wouldn't you know that with January came some thoughts and ideas. January is "that month" for me -- a cozy time of reflection and dreaming, resting and re-energizing. There's been a lot of life lived in the last year. I'm quite sure … [Read more...]

Hello, friends! I hope you all had an awesome Mother's Day last weekend... this week totally got away from me with Legacy "to dos", but I have managed to eek out a little progress on the front porch. I have a breather this weekend so I'm hoping to get some more done out there, on the back deck, too, and tackle a couple of furniture projects for the booth.

Hi, everyone! I was a traveling fool last week and have totally paid the price this week, both at home and at work. Isn't that the rub? Add in another bout of insomnia and it's not been a productive week. I would love to slow everything down but... during the fall? Not happening! Anyway, I had two wonderful trips, spent time with my boy and friends AND my BFF and had some very happy experiences along the way. I can't even tell you how … [Read more...]

March’s Favorite Things

It's so hard for me to believe we're at the end of March (do I sound like a broken record?)! We're entering that crazy time of year that reeks of madness... the fun kind of course. If you're a mom with kids in school, you might as well tether your calendar to your waist and fire up the checkbook. It's year-end this and year-end that headed your way before you know it. :) I've got some AWESOME favorites from March, so rather than wait until … [Read more...]
