HELP! There is an Elephant err Fireplace in the Room
Right when you walk into our new home you are greeted with a large brick fireplace. In fact it is one of the largest fireplaces that I have ever seen. I am going to tell you right now that Mr. Décor LOVES this fireplace. I am on the fence about it. Actually, I have been trying my best to ignore it. The room is SO dark that for me the first issue has been to paint the walls of the room. That will be happening later this week. Bye bye boring, cave like brown. I imagine that once there is ...

Thirteen
It’s official. Today I am once again the mother of a teenager. It seems like just yesterday that a 5 pound baby was placed in my arms. (2 week old Sweet Boy with an enamored Ann Curry.) As a rule he doesn’t like photos. It’s “One and done.” Begging him for “just one more” he shows his funny side by giving me “the model pose”. The move has been hard on him. He’s been eating lunch alone at school every day. As his mom this breaks my heart. You remember middle school don’t you? ... View the Post
