When I was thinking of a title for this post, I wanted to dig into the real meaning of "calling a spade a spade." I know how I would use it, but I wondered if it was appropriate. This is what I found: From Wikipedia.....To "call a spade a spade" is to speak honestly and directly about a topic, specifically topics that others may avoid … Read More »

The Robot
My son's drawings almost kill me over with joy. I'm afraid he'll soon be better than I am! His imagination is larger than life, and he whips out these little drawings so fast. He did a series of robots the other day. Here is one that I turned into a painting. I re-created it on an 11x14 inch cotton canvas. The edges are painted if you … Read More »

A Christmas Tree Hunt
Just for fun today, I thought I would share some photos of our Christmas tree hunt. Getting the Christmas tree is my favorite tradition. I suppose it's because I love trail running and it gets me into the mountains again. We live in one of the most beautiful places on earth. I thought it would be fun for those reading the blog in different parts … Read More »

A Girls’ Bedroom
I'm so excited to share my girls' bedroom with you today! While I have the best intentions with my own home, it seems I rarely ever finish a space. When I say "finish", I mean right down to the accessories. There's always something to do, right? My girls' room needed to "grow up" a little. A nine year old and a four year old share it, so it … Read More »
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Let's celebrate Thanksgiving with a sweet treat, shall we? I made sure to include some pumpkin, just for the season's sake. While I usually love to under-cook cookies, I wouldn't recommend it with this recipe. They need to be cooked all the way through. I promise they'll still be soft. I hope you enjoy. F.Y.I, I'll be taking Thursday and … Read More »
Enchiladas Verdes
My family and I are "flour tortillas" people. It's the kind we prefer with our monthly Mexican dishes; tacos (we fry them lightly in olive oil) and enchiladas. I recently tried this recipe, adapted slightly from Cooks Illustrated. It was delicious, of course, but it was also the first time I wished that we had made them with corn tortillas. I'd … Read More »
Best Peanut Butter Cookies
The key to making these cookies great is to cream the living daylights out of the dough, roll the dough in washed raw sugar instead of the regular granule kind, and to under-cook them. Enjoy! … Read More »
The Milkman
A few years back, my sis and her hubby took a trip to Madagascar. They came back with some amazing pictures, and I begged her to let me paint one specifically. It had this thread of exotic and familiar all at the same time. While it may be from Madagascar, I felt it could be anywhere in Europe in a time gone by. The big, beautiful flowers are … Read More »
