My friend Laura Bray is not only super kind and sweet but amazingly talented too. She does a lot of the same things that I do. She is a mom. She is a wife. She is a friend. She designs, creates and makes things. She is an artist, and a really good one. She recently created this fabric design and made it available on Spoonflower. She send me some and …
The other day my bestie (Laura Neiman from Housewife Hellraiser) stopped by and asked me to go with her to Dunkin Donuts for some awesome iced coffee. I always love the entire Dunkin Donut experience that starts with the color scheme…orange and pink! That probably sound super silly but to me, colors matter and driving up, it’s the first sense that gets hit. Next of course is the smell when …
Cowboy beans with green peppers are super yummy and work great as a main dish or a side. Sometimes we make them and have them for dinner with corn bread or toast. Sometimes we make them and take them to picnic pot lucks to share. This recipe is HUGE but can be cut in half. It serves 12 which makes it great for leftovers. [amd-yrecipe-recipe:5] Mix it all together and …

Last week I shared a whole bunch of awesomeness for teachers with Expressionery.Com products. I was amazed and excited that so many of them also used Scotch Products (Washi and Masking Tape) so I decided to create a fabulous teacher basket gift using these two also. I put in the basket all the things I would have wanted when I was teaching just to share what a teacher really wants! …
Meet my little crocheted witch friend that arrived in a box on my front porch on Thursday evening. I opened the box and about did flips when out of the bubble wrap emerged this adorable, green, darling little witch. My new friend that I made through social media (I know, crazy, right?!@??!), Sarah from Repeat Crafter Me made her for me. It was sort of a crafty friend exchange. I doodled …

Not my circus and certainly not my monkeys! I love monkeys. I think they are fascinating. I can watch them at the zoo for hours and dream of going deep into the jungle to study them one day. I really want to get to the theater to see the movie about them that is playing right now. While I have this fascination for real monkeys (and SOCK MONKEYS), I also …
I am so excited to share just how much Expressionery loves teachers by spreading teacher appreciation love through this awesome campaign. Lots of my bloggy friends have used products that I designed for Expressionery to create gifts for teachers. Hopefully you will find one or lots that inspire you to give to the educators in your life. I created these fun notes for the assistant principal at our school (well …
It all started on Instagram with a friendly and fun exchange and then… I am not even kidding, I received a R.A.B. today as in a Random Act of Berries from Shari’s Berries today. Talk about the ultimate act of spreading kindness. This so way beats the pay it forward coffee I received a few weeks ago by a long shot. Ding dong. That was my doorbell. “Hi Laura!” That …
