This is a professional shot of our living room at our last house. As most of you know, we moved to our new condo a little over three years ago. What I want you to notice in this photo is the beautiful white woodwork. Nigel and I did almost all of it. The original woodwork …
So, I’m ready for some DIY in the living room. Our living room is very large…something like 20′ x 20′ (if not larger). But, it’s square shape with the open concept kitchen on one side and an entry way to the garage and another to the front hall makes it a bit awkward. Right now, …
On Wednesday, I shared my monthly 10 on the 10th post. It was probably the toughest one I’ve written so far. It was about my ten favorite things that ended in ber in honor of the ber months. I was so surprised how many of you had never heard of ber months. I hadn’t heard …
Several years ago, my hairstylist did this to my hair! I need to show her this photo for a future color! I’ve been doing the Hair Chronicles over on Facebook. I’ve actually been doing them LIVE!! At first, it was a little scary, but now I’ve fallen into a rhythm with it. The thing is …
I’m trying to find the words to express my heartache over the deaths of children in South Minneapolis this past week. I keep thinking about the immense loss that community suffered.

I just love this photo! If you read my “Tell Us About Accidents” post (here), you’ll recognize this photo. We lived in a beautiful old two storey home when the kids were little. The kitchen was so small, and we actually ate in there. In fact, I probably only had to walk five or six …
I hope you don’t get tired of hearing about the Indianapolis Museum of Art! I am so excited, stoked, and totally thrilled to be a docent. This past week, I had two different trainings. One resulted in me being certified as a docent who can do Gallery Conversations. At first, I was a little nervous …
I have scheduled my first public tour as a docent. I’m using up to four of my pieces I used for my graduation tour. I also signed up for two more tours in September. My daughter, who was a math major in college, told me, with six pieces prepared, I can make up 20 tours. …
If you read my post about breaking rules, you’ll already know who this beauty is! She’s my fill-in photographer and my oldest granddaughter! I just can’t get over the fact she drove over to my house yesterday! The years between swaddling her up and rocking her to sleep and seeing her drive away just flew …
