Interior Decoration I'm A Photography!

Interior Decoration  I'm still reminiscing a bit about Liam. Several months ago, I noticed he started showing interest in using my camera. I'm sure it isn't because I carry it with me all the time! So, I hesitantly let him use it. I was surprised to see how wonderful his photos were! I mean his point of view is so different than anything I would imagine. His pics consist of his favorite things...

Interior Decoration Last week, my little Liam turned 6 years old! He is so ready to be big, and ready to do big boy things. It has left me thinking about the days of Liam being a silly little toddler. Although, he could be a handful; he was a sweet little guy:) Why is it kids are always so ready to move forward and parents struggle to keep up? Lately, I've been reading several blogs that are...

Balance

As I sit here on the couch surrounded by file folders full of purchase orders, invoices, sketches, half empty cups of coffee, post it notes and small Snickers wrappers, I am struck yet again by how that whole BALANCE thing we work-from-home parents supposedly have really is bullshit.  I wrote a post about it last year but this year, it feels even more intense.  We are in a constant state of appreciation that we're blessed to be able to work the hours we want, answer to ourselves, our retailers,  and our clients, and take off for...

Interior Decoration Counting The Minutes!

Interior Decoration I practically live and breathe Radiohead, and can hardly wait for their new album! For now, I have been watching this video over and over. Its fantastic!! The choreography is so outlandish, I can't turn away. I once went to a concert, where too much of the audience was sitting quietly, when they should have been on their feet dancing. Suddenly, a guy stands up and starts...
