There were lots of anticipated life changes when I first had the babies – less sleep, fewer nights out, lots and lots of love. One of the biggest surprises to me was the sense of total and utter vulnerability – suddenly the world was a scarier place than it had ever been before. Just a […]
Sweet and Simple Redecorating with CozyWallArt
This fall has been a BUSY time in my little studio, making hair bows until my finger prints wear burn off. I’ve found the white walled room a little stark though, isolating and uninspiring as I worked at my table facing the blank wall.

Win It! EquityLock Protector
A long time ago, before we were married, Dan owned our house as a bachelor. He chose our appliances with the help of Consumer Report guides, and picked out models that shined, blinked, and had fancy LED screens.
