I heart a Good Challenge

By admin | Published: February 3, 2012

I absolutely love Instagr.am. I totally prefer it to Facebook. Now, don’t get me wrong….I love it when someone has something snarky or interesting to say on FB, but lets be honest….how often does that happen? I have even cheated on Twitter a bit with Instagr.am, but I do love me some Twitter. (On a [...]

Favorite January Pins

By admin | Published: February 1, 2012

I love Pinterest just like the next person. However, I try not to use it too much as a time vacuum. Generally I use it for inspiration to create something new. I only follow people who I admire their style and most of the people I follow I have never met face to face. Here [...]

Weekly Day of Service

By admin | Published: January 31, 2012

This blog has been a catalyst to so many wonderful things in my life. It started as a venue to share the small victories in life as I became a parent, then it literally got me out of bed to do something creative so I could post during the darkest point in my life thus [...]

Pomodoro Technique

By admin | Published: January 23, 2012

One of the biggest challenges about not having an office to go to or a boss to hold you accountable is prioritizing. Around my house the things that go noticed are dirty dishes, refilling toilet paper rolls, piles of laundry (clean and dirty), hungry children, showered momma, non-returned phone calls/emails . Things that go unnoticed. [...]

Passions Can be Passions Without Seeking Profit….shhhh don’t tell

By admin | Published: January 17, 2012

Sometimes I just want to keep my passions a passion not a paycheck. I have come close to biting my tongue completely off when I get comments such as “You knit, do you ever sell your work?” “What great parties you throw, have you considered becoming a party planner?” “I can hardly imagine what it [...]

Letter to Lucye

By admin | Published: January 9, 2012

The first week of 2012 has been full of reflection and resolution. In cleaning up my computer to speed things up a bit, I came across a letter I wrote to my niece who was born last March. I have a special place in my heart for each of my children and all of [...]

Resolution Week

By admin | Published: January 5, 2012

This is the first year Big Guy has asked about resolutions. I am not sure he can completely grasp this concept, but he understands it enough to deem this week, Resolution Week. The week where apparently I, a.k.a. Mom, helps the kids by setting resolutions. Score! I will make the most of this! So, we [...]

In with the New

By admin | Published: January 4, 2012

Yesterday I told you about the project that I finished up to say good-bye to 2011. The best thing about that is saying hello to my first project of 2012. Of course, it is knitting. But, it is proving to be a bit of a challenge. I suppose there are some knitters out there who [...]

Out with the Old

By admin | Published: January 3, 2012

Amy at the CMP gave me this idea a few years ago. I thought it sounded like a keeper, but at that time I had two very little boys and taking time when they were with me was not a possibility. Now, they are 5 and 6 and things are better….a little….:)! The idea was [...]

The opposite of war isn’t peace…..It’s Creation!!!

By admin | Published: November 14, 2011

I have been quiet around R&TM lately. I hate that. Sitting here at my keyboard is as therapeutic for me as I imagine the piano is for many musicians. I write, I edit, I design, I compile…it doesn’t matter what it is, I love it and it gives me so much peace. I love the [...]
