Hello and Happy Halloween and Samhain to you! Halloween used to be one of my favorite holidays. I would dress up and decorate without fail every year and even while Eamon was little. But my interest dwindled when I had Fiona. I just didn’t have the energy anymore. There are posts here on the blog…
So many wonderful moments we were able to live and enjoy this month. Our annual visit to a Fifer Farms with a corn maze and slides and bouncy things! Our 20th wedding anniversary party. Other parties, the light, the meals, and the family. I feel contented this month and ready to move forward. Interested in…
It’s been a slow news week for me. I’m plodding along crossing things off my list. Doing the seasonal clean in my house. Planning to take a load to auction in a week and a half. I’m in do it mode and found myself at a loss for what to say here on the blog….

Today is the first day of a week-long creativity challenge I am hosting on Instagram running from February 13th through February 19th, 2017. If you have followed along with my creative endeavors since last year, you may remember the September Creative Challenge I gave myself where I made art a non-negotiable. Read the wrap up here….
I have been a bit quiet on the keyboard for the past couple days. My brain exhausted and mulling over this past week’s Spring Soul Selfie Instagram challenge I hosted. Which is to say I came up with the hashtag #soul_selfie, created 7 days of prompts, and asked that people join in and post a…
About to step into the new year and I think, 2015 wasn’t that bad. There were a few promising moments which made it not suck so much. There were a few times when I said, this is really great being me. And there were a few moments when I was painfully aware of our collective…
Breathtaking heartbreaking October, how I love/hate you so. You come in so nonchalantly. I rose to my own yearly challenge of daily posting 31 days in a row and threw in a creative bootcamp on top. Then the family fun began. We had Family Fall Fun with play places and festivals, a trip to…
