Let me start out this post by saying very clearly that I am not a great artist. You may think that only someone with great artistic skills could ever hand-paint. But trust me, that’s not true! If you ask me to draw any animal just from my memory, I...
The end of the year is approaching, which means it’s time for all those “Best of 2015” posts 🙂 I enjoy looking back at the stats from the year and seeing, overall, what you all enjoyed the most.  And I get to relive the makeovers a little bit in the...
It’s the third day of our spring break, and the sun is finally out here in Texas! It’s been two week solid of gloomy, cold weather–and I am over it! The bad news though is that we have two ill members of our household, so our spring break has been...
