In my house the best toothpaste is used for a variety of different things in addition to brushing teeth and freshening breath. It’s quite the handy product. In fact, our 5-year-old uses it religiously to help her make artwork in the bathroom when she’s finished using the potty and washing her hands. She’s brushed her […] More

It is nothing short of amazing what a small change can make to any room in a home. It’s true that some homes are just old and outdated and in need of a desperate renovation. Other homes, though, are not old; they just need a little bit of love in a few little areas to […] More

Three cups; that’s how many cups of coffee I’ve had today. I try very, very hard not to have more than three cups a day because I get all crashy and weird feeling if I have too many. I also try very hard not to have any after 2 pm. The problem, however, is that […] More

In my line of work, I receive hundreds of emails, Facebook and Instagram messages every single day. It’s common when you put yourself out there and you have so many people reading your work, disagreeing with what you have to say (and rarely ever do people disagree in a respectful manner…let’s work on that) or […] More
