Hello, friends... I don't normally post on the weekends but felt the call to do so today. I am here in NYC spending precious time with my daughter and BFF, and while we're ogling all the Christmas splendor of the city, my heart is full the true spirit of Christmas. Last Saturday I wrote this post for Fancy Little Things about simplifying my holiday decor (gasp!) to fully embrace the reason for the season. It would warm my heart if … [Read more...]

Can you believe it's November? Do you feel that clock ticking toward Christmas like I do?? Wow! This October was a jam-packed, fun-filled, stress-inducing month. Wonder what November will be like???

What a week. All I can say is T.G.I.F. My Little Crazies at school have been exactly that -- CRAZY. I'm not sure what it is about this group, but my assistant and I have had a hard time reining them in. Makes for some very loooooong days and a lot of evenings of being completely spent and brain-dead. Not good for creative juices! It's pretty clear most of my creativity will have to happen on the weekends this year! This weekend I'm … [Read more...]
