Inside the Front Cover
I channel Dorothea Lang for art and beauty for the sake of social justice and political reform and Martha Stewart for art and beauty for the sake of “good things.” Throw in a little Julia Child and now you have entered the depths of my psyche. “Crazy on a Good Day” is an [...]

Sharing Digital Pictures
I know it is Wednesday, but I spent Techy Tuesday at the Zoo with my oldest. I am sure you understand. Lately, the issue of how to share digital pictures has come up over and over again. I wish I were better at sharing pics….but, like with everything else life often gets in the way. [...]

Techy Tuesday — Organizing a Garden
I often joke…tongue and cheek, of course…that my life as a stay at home mom is a lot like the life of Scarlett O’Hara trying to take care of Tara without the luxury of “help”. I am the cook, house cleaner, chauffeur, mechanic, nurse, butler, gardener, not to mention CFO and at times, the wet [...]

Do It Yourself Photo Booth

Multi Tasking is My MO
I love to sew!!!!!…in theory. I have been playing with my sewing machine for the past four or five years, but I am really not very good. You have to pay such close attention to detail and when your MO is multitasking…..details get blurry to say the least. My love of the idea of sewing [...]

Winter Craft
While we were trying to endure yet another snow/ice storm that paralyzed the school system, the boys and I decided to make the most of it and make Valentine’s for all of their friends. It turned out to be a great project. We had an assortment of recycled crayons. I decided to sort them by [...]

What to Paint
I have decided that one thing I am going to do every month in 2010 is a painting. I am really enjoying watercolor, so that is where I will start. But, now I am feeling pressure to find the perfect thing to paint for January. This is ridiculous! The whole point is to have a [...]
