My contractor is great and he's old school too. I asked for small spacers on my bathroom tile and he came up with something I've never seen before.

I came across this commercial yesterday and had to share. It's brilliant! As a mom of two girls I think it's a great idea to have girls involved in more technical fields and most importantly to make sure all fields are available to girls as well as boys. A couple of days ago my 3 and a half year old told me she wants to be an astronaut and go to the moon. It made my heart sing. 

Go Girls!

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly: The Ugly and The Bad

As charming as the house is, it's been neglected for years and last renovations were done in the seventies and it shows.

I see paint, paint and more paint in my future.
