My husband and I are creatives. As creatives, we can have big ideas, big dreams, and big hopes. And having a space we could call our own has been one of those dreams. We have wanted a space to show our work, teach classes, have creative meetings, brainstorms...and now here we are! We believe this [...]

I know, I know. I'm long overdue for a blog post. The truth is, life has gotten in the way of itself. Do you ever feel like that? You know lately I've spent so much time all over the place I just needed to stop. Really stop. And ask myself the ever so important question. [...]
My boys had an overnight with their Grandma, so as I write this, things are quite serene. It's hard to have a moment of quiet with 2 boys in a small townhome. It's the season I'm in and most of the time I love it, but I sure am enjoying these hours of peace! Peace. [...]
Let's face it. We spend more time in between than we do in the destination. Waiting on the repair guy. Waiting for the vacation. Waiting for the money to PAY the repair guy. In fact, we can get so caught up in the fact that we are waiting, we forget to breathe. We forget to [...]

As a home school mom I have had countless opportunities to reassess where my children are academically. I'm sure I speak [...]
I'm a get it done kinda person. If a painting isn't finished when I'm ready for it to be, I have to walk away from in for a while, sometimes days. Growing up an American with a microwave and all the general conveniences, I buy into this idea that everything I want or need should [...]
The other day I showed my 2 boys a finished painting and asked, "Well what do you think?" The younger one's eyes got big and he asked, "Mom! How did you actually get it right this time?!" As you can see my children aren't always impressed by the fact that their mom is an artist. [...]
My family and I went on a trip to Columbia, SC to visit extended family this week for the holidays. While we were there I wanted to check out an exhibit at the museum featuring artist Georgia O'Keeffe. I didn't know much about her but love her work with flowers. It was a last minute [...]
After years of church ministry I've heard many stories...stories of grief and sadness...stories of redemption and hope. And then there are the stories laced in fear. Many of them sounding much like my own. Fear has a way of taking some of our best hopes and intentions and choking the life out of them. It [...]
