Two for Tuesdays are for Comfort!

I am absolutely living the dream these days. I get to hang out at home during the work week for my art therapy job. I get to have my kids around me while I work, and we get to eat lunch together, AND I get to nurture my creative side as an artist, PLUS I…

Studio Daydreaming

I shared last week that we are all done with workers in the house (thank goodness!) And thanks to my husband for all of the work he has done to get everything done right!

My husband is working on the floors now, and he is doing an amazing job! My…

Back to NORMAL!

The renovations are DONE!

It is Monday, and I am so excited because after having various parts of the house in repairs since February, we are finally moving back in. We never really moved out completely, but we have been moving around the house, just staying out of the…

Reflections on My White Privilege

Hello everyone!

I am writing today, because sometimes writing is the best way to just think, you know? So this might end up being a random blog, but just come along for the ride. I’m sure it will go somewhere. It is June 4th, 2020 as I write this, though…

I created this image in 1997, my senior year of high school. There was a call for art from the Ladies Auxiliary to the VFW in Canton, Ohio, where I grew…

On the Road, Inspiration, and Happenings

Things currently being yelled in the back of the RV by the young’uns : “chew with your mouth closed!”, “mom, she stuck her tongue out!”, and “sit regular!”. I’m scared to turn around to see what that last one was about, but will definitely have to “mother” out loud…
