No reflections on 2022 here, but thank you for sharing my journey. And, hello, there 2023. Letâs do this, shall we? Resolutions Do you make resolutions? Neither do I. Whatâs the point? If something needs to be fixed or changed, why wait for a new year. Am I right? So letâs not crowd the gym […]
It’s been awhile since we’ve tackled a project. But here is a new project – German Schmear. Or German Smear, just in case you’re not German. Remember when we redid hub’s office with a faux brick wall? We have loved the look in there, but the wall is pretty red and it didn’t have much […]

We have such high ceilings in our home and when we first moved in our kitchen only had […]
Dried orange slices at Christmas time are so beautiful as natural tree ornaments, garland embellishments, and drink garnishes. I am blessed in life to have friends and family who are beautiful and talented and smart and funny. All very important traits. And most of them are creative and artistic. Thatâs where they leave me in […]
