I don't get to wear hats much in the desert. So when it gets a little chilly in cactus town, I like to wear a hat. And let's face it, now that I have decided to embrace the wave that I was born with, that embrace comes with the realization that some days my hair will ...
I have fun painting. But I won't ever get all artsy-fartsy on you and call myself an artiste. :) It's something I enjoy. I love playing with the colors. And I love having captured a moment in time - what I was feeling at the time I painted the piece. So months before Miss T was born, ...
I swear, Etsy has some of the coolest online peeps. The talent is pretty evident in most shops. You just see what people are making and think "wow." But talent isn't the only thing you find. You find people with heart. I was looking at the
I threw a baby shower for my friend B the other week. And while I didn't get as crafty as I would have liked, I did make a couple new things. I made this diaper cake -> (No, I did not make the cute stuffed owls on ...
There are times in life when you have to keep quiet. When you have to keep your mouth shut. That is not easy for me. I'm opinionated, for one. But I also like to spew advice, for the two cents (or less) that it's worth. I see a train wreck a'comin. And it's not going to be ...

So is it a child's right of passage to take some scissors and give himself a haircut? Because my 7 yr old did just that. You'd think he would know better at his age. But yet, he did it. In the living room. With the purple handled scissors. He left tufts of hair on the floor. And a couple ...
I sell stationery. Yes, with an "e." But I have to tag my items with the wrong spelling to make sure they don't get lost when people search for "stationary." I do not sell stationary. Stationary means standing still; not moving. It's easy to mix up. And in fact, when I look at my shop stats, I see ...
Okay, maybe not yet. D has decided he wants to learn violin. Me, the mom who feels like her munchkin needs to have all these opportunities my family could not afford, feels obligated to oblige. Well, what makes the decision easy is that munchkin's school offers a program that is ultra cheapola (we're talking $20/mth) for group ...
