My baby may be small, but he has a large personality. So I’m always on the lookout for cool and unique clothing that reflects his bubbly disposition…
The Art of Choosing Joy
I rarely have time for it, but I really enjoy scrapbooking. A few years ago at a party, I met Kolette Hall. Kolette’s a designer, teacher, self-made businesswoman, and professional scrapbooker…so, of course, I thought she was cool. But what impressed me most was her amazing spirit. Kolette’s husband, Jason, is a quadriplegic. He broke his […]
It’s Not Too Late: Make a Homemade Christmas Card
Before baby was born, I used to finish all of my Christmas cards on the day after Thanksgiving. It was an important holiday tradition for me.

Father’s Day Idea: Design Your Own Tie
Fit to Be Tied Ties are the “flowers” equivalent for men. Sure, they are safe…but safe can be so very boring.
