Art
I’ve always been fascinated by art. in every form imaginable. photos? acrylic? watercolor? yes, yes, and yes. I’m not sure I could tell you my favorite movement or time period. It’s all so good. Flemish art (16th century) is maybe the most interesting IMHO. Art is kinda like wine to me. I know good art […]

Ten totally random things about me, me, me!
Ten totally random things about me. 1. I was a hideous looking jr.high schooler. oddly enough, i think that’s when my self esteem peaked. i’m pretty sure i had no clue of the unfortunate looking teeth/bangs/style combo. 2. Daily I am reminded that I married Up! like, way up. JB is the […]
Supergoop! review
Our first morning on Sea Island I woke up to a fresh cup of coffee, walked out to the porch and it appeared Santa had arrived! It was like Christmas morning for this always-in-the-sun-momma. Supergoop! had given each of us a truckload of products. I’d always wanted to try it, and try I did! […]

baby giggles
