Oh my dear friends, how long it's been! It seems like I blinked and 3 months have gone by. So very much has happened since the first of the year, and now here we are, in the midst of something many of us have never experienced in our lifetimes. My heart is breaking for the world right now. For those experiencing such great sadness and loss. And … [Read more...]
Musical Rooms
Do you remember playing the game musical chairs as a kid? You know, you'd put a whole bunch of chairs in a circle, then somebody would sing a song until....STOP! And you'd have to scramble like mad to find a spot before that last seat was taken.

The Art of Reinvention
Well, summer is officially here! Swimming, popsicles, lightning bugs, bare feet and sleeping in. Seems like we wait all year for these 3 months to get here! I've been reflecting a lot these past few weeks about what we went through last summer at this time in losing out to the farmhouse of our dreams, and how different our lives may have been if … [Read more...]
The Itchy House
Can you believe it's already the end of April and next week it'll be May already? Just where has this spring gone? I can almost see the end of the school year fast approaching and that wonderful season of summer almost here. I'm super excited for next month because I have been working on a whole new series on one of my favorite topics -- Mason … [Read more...]
Making a Home for the Holidays
Last weekend I had the opportunity to receive a pretty incredible Christmas gift early. I got to do something that I've literally dreamed of doing for the last 20 years. I got to go back home. Let me explain... When I was nearly 15 we moved from the only house I had ever known - the house I was born in, grew up in and never wanted to leave. It … [Read more...]
