Creativity is Not a Hobby; it's a Way of Life!
Is anyone else having some crazy (as in not seasonal at all) weather these days? It has been warmer than usual around here and we’ve barely had any snow (pretty much just a dusting here and there). In fact, we’ve had several rainy days in the past month. Still, I feel like a big winter […]
Happy New Year! Do you get excited about the flip of the calendar from one year to the next? I know there’s nothing magical about it but still, I find that there is just so much hope and promise in the idea of a fresh new year. So, let’s kick things off and celebrate 2019 […]
It’s that time of year again. People all around the world will be making resolutions tonight for the new year. Do you? I have mixed feelings about resolutions. Based on experience (mine and others), I find that we often pick huge lofty goals and then by February 1st (or sooner), we have abandoned them because […]
Another Christmas Day has come and gone. In my social media feed are all sorts of people talking about spending today cleaning up from the festivities. Some are taking down their trees and packing away the decorations. Not my family. We prefer to linger in the holiday season. Earlier today, my daughter breathed out a […]

Do you have any special Christmas Eve family traditions? Traditions have a lovely way of bringing a family together.

Being descended from German […]
Are you a Star Wars fan? We sure are in my family – well, at least most of us are. I still remember lining up to see the very first movie when it was released in theaters. And then, going back to see it again and again with all of my friends. It was showing […]
True confession time: I am not much of a soup fan. Oh, a scrumptious French onion soup, all cheesy and gooey, is a nice starter course now and then. If we’re having grilled cheese, I love to have a small bowl of cream of tomato soup with it. It’s simply ideal for dunking! But, I […]
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 little something special to your life. Simple ideas for lovely days! Pick and choose what sparks your interest and fits into your schedule. […]
Wooohoooo! The polar vortex seems to have come to an end and temperatures are rising. Okay, so it’s just barely over zero but considering it was nearly -40 at one point in the past week, I’ll take it! In other news, my little Moonpie seems to have decided that he’s going to make some big […]
