Creating a Calming Guest Bathroom | Bathroom Renovations

As you all know, my husband and I have been slowly renovating our home one step at a time. This month, we focused on the guest bathroom out of necessity. We had a crack in the floor tile which caused a slow leak anytime someone used the bathtub. Therefore, we had no choice and the […]

Thankful To Be a Mom | Mother’s Day Reflection

Motherhood has not always come easy for me. When my husband and I decided to have children I was excited. I had tons of lofty expectations (as I think most new mothers do). I knew I was going to work hard and breastfeed. Sleep train and adopt a hobby in order to fill my non-working […]

Summer Sun Calls for Frozen Cocktails

With the warmer weather and more celebrations on the way – Graduation, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, Father’s Day, 4th of July, BBQs, vacation – it’s time for some frozen cocktails. Now they don’t have to be strong and can definitely be non-alcoholic. But having a cold refreshing drink is definitely a must in the summertime. […]

Life is Lovely

We had so much fun recording with our first guest yesterday! Our 4th mini-series is all about MAY-king it happen, and we’re kicking it off with small business advocate and guru, @mary_haleyt of the City of Anderson Economic Development Office. Listen to our newest episode on iTunes, Google Play or Spotify! What do you want to hear about? We love hearing from you!

Congrats, grads!!!

Such a fun evening with friends and my hubby at Art on the Town! (Wish I’d taken more pics!) Honored to have my piece displayed at the @andersonareachamber as well as having been part of the “Creative Cornhole” project. I love our little creative city! #creativitycrusader #artonthetown

This morning I met Johnnie Mae. All week, a fellow artist and I have been working with the Anderson County Disabilities and Special Needs on a very special project for the City of Anderson. It has been an honor and a privilege to work along so many charming, joyful, wonderful men and women. This morning, Johnnie Mae was in our second group. As I watched her paint, there was something exceptional about the decisions she was making for her brush strokes, for placement, the songs she made up and sang as she worked...and as I watched and listened, I realized she was creating a self portrait. A wonderful, abstract, creative, intentional, beautiful self-portrait. I asked her what the title of her artwork was, and she said proudly, beaming, “African American Woman with Long Braids, like me, see?”, touching her hair. I love her artwork. I would love to have a Johnnie Mae original to hang in my home. I was in the presence of a truly, blessed, gifted artist this morning and it wrecked me. It also reminded me, amidst the hustle of the everyday, that sometimes it’s equally thrilling to just stop, watch, and listen. Art is everywhere. Artists are everywhere. Inspiration is everywhere. #creativitycrusader #bestlife #blessedlife #artiseverywhere
