DIY ~ Tween Bedroom Make Over
This is a a pic of my precious daughter when she was 3 years old in the personal space that I created for her in an effort to get her out of our bed. As you can see, at that time she loved her dolly’s and she loved her room. Pink and green Disney colors along with the whimsical flowery border made her small room bright but cozy.

Presidential Inauguration Day - 2009

I did not want to take a chance and choke on my breakfast and miss the whole thing! Think about how many people died before noon today. They didnt get to witness the swearing in of our 1st African American President. I spent the day creating a video diary of my self and … Continue reading

Happy Holidays & Welcome to My Blog!!
It’s Christmas Time! I can’t think of a better time to start a blog! In order to be PC, I say, “Happy Holidays to you all!” Whatever it is that you celebrate, I hope you have a good one. I sure did and still am. I went completely festive this year. Perfectly trimmed artificial tree, full of all of the things that my children have crafted throughout the years. I’m sorry, but i despise a color coordinated Christmas tree. It seems so cold and impersonal … Continue reading
