Our kids have SO much fun coming up with different designs every year for the roofs, the doors, windows, even walkways! We love to have a buffet of candy … [Read more...]
What is going on?
Well, I feel a bit discombobulated. (I love the sound of that word, so I wanted to find a way to use it!) Lot's of static in the brain. Have you ever felt that? Holiday cards... not done yet. Holiday shopping? About done, but not all wrapped. A few packages still left to be mailed. Will they arrive on time? Unlikely. Do I still need to make those gingerbread houses for the annual Gingerbread House decorating? Yes. :) Have I been … [Read more...]

Natural Stone Beauty
I had to make a decision recently for countertops for my mud room that was challenging. The reason why I found it challenging was that I fell IN LOVE with almost ALL the stones! I went to a granite/stone business and tried to make a selection, back and forth back and forth, and I had something specific in mind before going. If you're not in the market for natural stone, then seeing the basic stones at the big box retailers doesn't do … [Read more...]
