    We all know that children excel in making messes, but as I discussed in my last blog post, children are also capable of cleaning up after themselves.  First, they need to be taught how.  Second, they need a set-up that will make it easy for them to put things away.

    ...and it's gone, gone, gone

    Have you fallen out of love with your home?  Do you remember when you decided to live here?  Was it love at first sight?  Did you dream of possibilities?  Can you conjure up the  hope you felt as you first walked through those empty rooms on moving day - ready to make them your own?

    What happened?

    For all you frustrated parents out there who think that the playroom will never be clean unless you do it all yourself, I have good news.

    As a preschool teacher, I have learned that children are entirely capable of cleaning up their own toys (and not just by dumping them all in a hidden spot).  This is the secret:  you must first teach them how.  The earlier you start, the bigger the favor you are doing for yourself.

    Thursday was my 8th wedding anniversary, and I'm finally ready to toss the bouquet...for good.

    My wedding bouquet was beautiful- orange and cream roses, fresia and dark orange tulips.  It was perfect for me and for our wedding day.  It was also a gift from my dear friend Leslie.

    I’ll admit that I’m addicted to scarves.  I blame it on my Inner French Girl! They don’t disappoint me when I gain weight, they cover a multiple of sins, they jazz up old outfits, create multiple looks when added to the same basic pieces, reclaim bad-hair days, brighten my mood– what’s not to love?
