I should have listened. Three of my coworkers were the first to try to convince me to join Pinterest, with a caveat: “It’s really addictive!” they all warned. I resisted for a while, but finally gave in, and were they ever right. I’ll post more about Pinterest in the future, but already I love it. It’s […] Read more…
When I first heard Heather Von St. James’ story I knew I she needed to share it with my readers. The specifics may be helpful to some, but the underlying message is inspiring for all. I’ll turn it over to my guest blogger, Heather Von St. James: ********************** A characteristic I possess that family and […] Read more…
I’ve always been jealous of the clear, up-close photos I’ve seen on other blogs. My old point-and-shoot camera (a Canon PowerShot A75 purchased seven years ago) has a macro setting, but the results are pathetic.

However, many of you have asked me about organizational […] Read more…
“Is it coincidence that we spend far more than our parents ever did on the restyling and improvement of our homes – homes in which we spend less and less time because we are out earning the money to pay for French chrome mixer taps and stripped oak floors? It’s as though home had become […] Read more…

Last weekend we took the girls for a little pre-Christmas getaway in Toronto. The highlights: We stayed at the Marriott Renaissance Toronto Downtown Hotel (attached to the Rogers Centre) simply because we were looking for accommodations that were reasonably priced and reasonably close to the Sony Centre. We booked online and got an amazing deal. Our […] Read more…
