Have you ever looked at a space and thought, “hmmm. That is is pretty, but something is a little off?”  Beautiful things, perfect colors, straight out of a magazine look, but something is just not right? My guess is it's a little design element called scale. Don’t check out because that is a designer word and you don’t care, this is good information you can use. Let me explain…    Until we moved in April, I’ve always lived in small houses. Let’s be clear not tiny houses, HGTV hipster style (because HELLO! Have you seen my closet?) but nice cozy houses....

I love pumpkins. I am not ashamed. Give me all the pumpkins, mums, candy corn, boots and sweaters… FALL IS MY FAVORITE and I am fully aware that  I’ll tell you way too many times but I love it that much.  But I get that you might not all feel me on that and it’s ok, more candy corn for me!

October 1. A new day. A new month and the start of a little something different.  I’m going to write everyday for the entire month. 31 days. That is a really long time.

BUT I love a little extra hint of flavor here and there and I have a trick to make it perfectly!    Have you ever tried to sprinkle a little cinnamon in your cup of...

This month marks more than just a normal change in seasons for me. On August 31st I walked out the doors of my employer of over 13 years for the last time. It’s a big thing but it was a relatively  easy decision. While there may have been a few options to continue, it was time for me to walk away.    What’s on the other side? I don’t know yet but I do know that I need a break. I know we can’t all leave a job (trust me, I never ever would have done this under other circumstances)...
