It’s Monday. Sometimes at the start of a stressful week, I need extra encouragement in remembering just how blessed I am. I have NO idea where these two learned such outlandish behavior. Probably from their Auntie. Pumpkin Pie Alternatives and Funny kids. (Sweet boy and the Fashionista mugging it up on the way to see Sir Elton John.) Pumpkin Pie Alternatives and Funny kids Truth time. I would be perfectly happy to never eat another slice of pumpkin pie. I know, it’s totally ... View the Post
An Unexpected Thanksgiving Table
Ok, I’ll admit it that I am not fond of orange or rust. While I like those tones on trees, they are not my favorite for dining room design.

I have found that if I apply the 20-year rule to my life, it makes decision making a lot easier. What is the 20-year ... View the Post
Festive Fall Recipe
This is a wonderful Festive Fall Recipe from my childhood. In the backyard of my childhood home, we had an apple tree. Every fall my mom would make my very favorite applesauce. Festive Fall Recipe I decided that it was high time I use my ample supply of apples to give my children a taste of my childhood via my mom's homemade applesauce.

Like many mothers, I am at times overwhelmed with day to day family responsibilities. Currently, I am taking two college classes, have a design business, launching a second business and trying to build and maintain 2 blogs and 2 websites. But children still need birthday parties. I was hoping for an EASY button. Here is how I created An Airbending Birthday Party. An Airbending Birthday Party Case in point. For years Sweet Boy has been begging for a party at Peter Peppers.
