Creativity is Not a Hobby; it's a Way of Life!
.We have a bit of a Christmas tree conundrum this year. You see, there’s an extremely curious and active 15 month old in the house. There is NO way he’s going to keep away from something as bright and sparkly as a Christmas tree. While we consider the ins and outs of baby-proofing Christmas, I […]

Wow! Can you believe it’s the last week of March already? And being Monday, that means it’s time for another Why Don’t You. Inspired by one of my favorite blogs Brocante Home (who was in turn inspired by a feature in Harper’s Bazaar written by Diana Vreeland), Why Don’t You is a week’s worth of ideas for adding a […]
