Hi there and welcome to welcome to the Christmas holidays tour and inspiration. Carol, who blogs at Blue Sky at Home, invited a group of decor bloggers to share a few ideas for Christmas. Carol and I met at the Haven Conference two years ago. Her energy is contagious. So when Carol invited me to…
Good morning friends! Our week started off with one of our boys calling us with news. Usually, our son prefaces his phone calls with, “Mom, funny story.” This conversation started with a nervous cadence that all parents recognize. I will not share what thoughts ran through my mind in those first fourteen seconds. But I…
When Hallmark dropped this news I knew it was time for this idea list for an easy breezy hot cocoa bar idea early! Growing up, my mom’s idea of a hot cocoa bar was a 1/2 bag of marshmallows (leftover from the year before) on the kitchen counter. But she made up for the crunchy…
Good morning! What are your plans for the weekend? Can I share an embarrassing story? I am a rapid-fire texter and quick on the send button. I end up sending three additional text messages to correct my typos and errant consonants. And other texts, like the one I sent to my daughter, auto-corrected to “he…

This bathroom remodel was on schedule and under budget until it went off the rails with a series of unfortunate events. We both blame the countertop….

I am an early-morning kind of girl. I love the stillness in the air when I let Chloe and Elliott out the back door for their morning constitution (Frasier show reference). It is the most peaceful time of day before the to-do lists. emails and text messages interrupt the quiet. I get the dogs settled…
My youngest son called from school and said he might move home because of a spider. Yes, apparently there was a Wolf spider in his bedding. So I googled it and found too many details. He had a plan: either sleep on the couch until the first freeze or move back home. That last sentence…
