What is it about choosing images and art that seems so difficult? When someone finally finds a great piece to jump into…they often don’t! Are you afraid of upsetting the balance of complacency in the home? As the darker days descend upon us, our focus turns…

Something’s not working? As with many routines in life, we need to shift our habits with the seasons. In our case, the back door entry was also the spot to park the washer and dryer. A little tight on most days, but bringing in two, large, muddy dogs to dry off… well? This first picture was taken after we stripped the cupboards and took out a large laundry sink and shelves. We had more room for the pups to turn…

Video conferencing is high on the list of staying sane! Apparently Face-time, Zoom and skype usage is UP 2000% in the last month! WOW! Once served for the sole purpose of inter-department conference calls, we now rely on this for distance learning, visiting relatives and there’s’ so much more going on! One of the reasons I wrote about this subject, it was prompted by a situation last week: a guy fresh out of the shower, signed into a webinar, and…

If you could read my mind: A Simple Game of ABC The lyrics to a popular song lead to wonder, mystique and perhaps misconception about what’s going on inside ourselves.

Our banking and spending habits have changed over the years; so how are you handling this?

Getting tired of your bedroom? Ready for a SPRING REVIVAL? Here’s one great idea to change things up! This master bedroom, thou clean, crisp and cozy wasn’t quite working for the couple. I like the symmetry here, and feng shui is all about symmetry!

Game night! There was always a game after supper. My earliest card games I learned from my Grandparents. The times we were allowed to stay over night were always on school break. Without parents around, we could have our grandparents’ undivided attention. Our precious time after the evening meal was a way to connect. A time of laughter, and wit; a way to learn how to problem-solve, or, the next move. My grandparents taught my sister and I how to…
