Footstools are the diminutive little sister of the ottoman. I am currently Desperately Seeking A Footstool or two. This lovely painting by Mary Cassatt will give you a hint as to why I need two footstools. Desperately Seeking A Footstool I've written before about my miniature dachshund, Rudi. Like so many doxies he has back problems. Unfortunately, he loves to jump up and down from our couches. No amount of scolding, cajoling, pleading, and begging has been able to change this behavior. ... View the Post
September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month
September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Last year I joined forces with a local NOCC (National Ovarian Cancer Coalition) chapter to help create a greater awareness of this deadly disease. On the website, they have a "test your knowledge" quiz about ovarian cancer and I will tell you that when I first took the test regarding the symptoms of ovarian cancer, I failed. Ovarian Cancer whispers. I urge all readers to log on to this site and become more aware. I feel very strongly that God ... View the Post
Dorm Room Decor
It's that time of year again for Dorm Room Decor. Dorm Room Decor I never had the chance to go away to college and live in a dorm room.

Just ask my graphic designer, April, who worked ... View the Post
A Party Fit For Marie Antoinette
I am turning 40. Let us celebrate with A Party Fit For Marie Antoinette. A Party Fit For Marie Antoinette The table is dressed with a matelasse cloth covered in roses, candy, confetti and images of the queen. Crystal candlesticks are dripping with jewels.

A favor was placed to the left of each place ... View the Post
You Are Cordially Invited
Today I am 40. You Are Cordially Invited. You Are Cordially Invited I had written this post a few days ago before learning of my dad's passing. A big celebration had been in the works by my children that I truly considered canceling. My sister in law Melody, who lives here in town, said, "Laura, don't cancel. Norm LOVED a party and I REALLY need a drink." (Who can argue with that?) As my husband is currently overseas and will not return for awhile, it is actually comforting to me that ... View the Post
