Last week, on a dark and rainy night, we had a visitor. It seemed apparent that he was homeless, and my heart went out to him. Instead of ringing the doorbell, he managed to balance himself on our window ledge, vocally announcing his presence.  I tried to invite him in, but he seemed frightened and refused.
He did agree [...]

Sometimes no words are needed…

Ta Da! What do you think of the new me?
Maree at http://workathomedesigns.blogspot.com created “me.” Smooth skin, big eyes, and a longer neck! Hey, it’s cheaper than a facelift!

Here’s what she started with.

One day when my boys were about 5 years old, Nathan found these velcro hair rollers that I never used, and said, “Look mom, binoculars!”

Then he said, “Look mom, it’s a spy gun!”

Next it was “Look mom, I’m George Washington!”

Then Mickey Mouse got his turn:

Ok, I was a little worried at first when he came [...]

It’s with sadness that I must say goodbye to Nathan’s jungle room and Joseph’s space room. My almost 14 year old boys have outgrown their cute little rooms, designed by mom.
