Happy Mail

When Creativity Goes Bad…
While some projects may be cute, be forewarned that they can be fatal (okay, perhaps not fatal, but maybe a little yucky!). See these cute little colorful hearts? Innocent looking aren’t they?

We’re approaching that special time of year…the time people either really LOVE or really HATE. I’m talking about Valentine’s Day and I personally really love it.

Rain, Rain Go Away!
Okay, I truly do realize that rain is not that bad of a thing. Most years, I love rainy days. It’s a great chance to stay in your jammies, curl up with a book, maybe take a nap (note: these things would no longer actually happen in my world with two 3-year-olds, but I do … Read more Rain, Rain Go Away!
