Out with the old and in with the LIGHT!

Look at light and admire its beauty. Close your eyes, and then look again: what you saw is no longer there; and what you will see later is not yet.Leonardo Da Vinci It’s been a month (or a few) of makeovers from my career strategy, website, and now studio. I am not ashamed to admit

Lavender Crush – Let’s watch it grow!

Moving from Nevada to California has taken some adjusting where my plants are concerned. I've always had a green thumb and have always loved gardening. I remember my grandparents loving their rose garden and treating it with great care. They had dozens of roses of every color and people would walk by their home just

DIY Book Nook

Last year we decided to move from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. You never realize how much 'stuff' you have until you have to move it. Let me tell you…I didn't realize how many books I had. I'm a book lover, no denying it. Especially art books and children's books, and of course, the classics.

Lego Play Space

Our little guy LOVES Legos...Mama loves Legos too. And really, who doesn't. They are a brilliant toy that teaches creativity, ingenuity, and is being used in some major S.T.E.A.M programs across the country.
