The best invention EVER!!

As you know, back when I went through all of my unfinished projects list, one of them was turning my office wall into a chalkboard. And if you have kept up you will know that I finished this project.(all in a day)

It has turned out that this has by far been the best thing I have ever done for my kids. Ok, maybe not the best thing, but pretty darn close to it.

Rick has been using it to get Krischan to learn long division. (Yes, it is advanced, but remember he is a genius.)


Jakob has shown his blossoming artistic talent. This is a self portrait.


And here is a great one of suckers. I am going to have to make a print of this somehow...I wonder if he copywrites his stuff.


Kadence loves that she can finally draw on the walls without getting in trouble. Although she still does turn her body and tries to draw on the file cabinet, and the door, ok, also the floor...But chalk wipes up.


Those of you who know me, know I am lying through my teeth and that I didn't do this wall for my kids. Besides, it is in my office...But look at what I can do. I can embelish things and when I don't like it anymore, I can just erase it.


Don't ever forget. It is always all about me.
(OK, maybe not really, but it would be a much better, more peaceful world if it was.)

    This is great! The Jakob suckers drawing WOULD make an awesome print. I can't wait until I'm done renting and I can start painting. A chalkboard wall is an essential part of my future home.

is anyone out there?

It has been so long since I blogged. So much so that I let my domain expire and it isn't easy to reinstate it…things become more complicated with technology sometimes you just give up. And that is what I am doing now on the domain, giving up and I hope that I can get my monday back. I will be back here.

Musings over a weekend

The weather was beautiful, got to go out on a date with my husband, and got in my garden for some therapy. How much more perfect can a weekend get. On weekends like this my mind wanders (ok it always wanders) and I have specific thoughts that sometimes stick out like neon lights. Musing #1 I can not wait till the day where the only butt I have to wipe, is my own. Musing #2 In three weeks, if it is meant to be...we will have a new family member. (baby puppy..said in the most baby of voices...EVER!) Musing #3 If I had the money, I would hire Martha Stewart to organize my home from the basement on up. (She would be horrified by my current state of organization.) Musing #4 Amazing, I take my husband to a healthy restaurant, and he finds the most unhealthy thing to eat. Musing #5 I am going to wake up at 6:30 so I can get ready for the day, make my cup of coffee, and then go out and watch the sunrise. (that one is pretty funny. I can't remember the last time I actually ...

I had to share this post from Facebook by my cousin Bailey. His words ring very true, and I stand by them. I feel as a society we need to move forward and not backward. Learning to accept everyone for who they are and not forcing everyone into what we feel they should be. Bailey's post: Just in case the Georgetown Times doesn't post my response... Mr. Brock, Your recent opinion article on the topic of same-sex marriages saddened me. Not only as a gay man, but as a forward thinking American citizen, I whole-heartedly disagree with you on your views. No matter what kind of intentions President Obama had for announcing his support of same sex marriage, he will be relieved one day when he finds his beliefs to be on the right side of history. You say, “The biological premise of the joining of one man and one woman is propagation of the species.” If that’s true, why should elderly people be allowed to get married? Or heterosexual couples who can’t conceive children? Should th...
