  • Holidays, Miracles, Hallmark & Traditions: A Blogger’s Paradise

    December 4, 2016 /

    Hello, there. You probably thought I fell off the planet because I haven’t been here in a while. It sort of feels that way, at least to me, anyway. I’ve been trying to take some needed time away to clear my head, focus on my teaching, and get ready for the holidays. I’ve also been dealing with a health issue that’s had me a bit sidetracked. It’s not always easy to juggle everything, is it? So often we wonder where time has gone and how we can get more of it to enjoy the things we want to be doing. The truth is, life throws us some curveballs we didn’t…

  • Prettiness & Priorities

    January 6, 2016 /

    I don’t know about you, but I’m welcoming 2016 with open arms. While 2015 wasn’t awful or anything I want to forget, it was incredibly busy and hectic, more so than years in the past. Juggling the children’s schedules, my husband’s new job, the writing of a textbook with my two dear colleagues, and teaching a full load of courses among other things made this year go by like a flash. If I have neglected you as a friend in 2015, please know it was unconsciously done. There are only so many hours in a day, and unfortunately, to do lists often take priority over having a good time. But…

  • Mercury Glass For A Touch of Sparkle

    July 30, 2015 /

    I’ve always found that mixing elements of old with elements of new adds that personal touch to a home. Making your place feel like it’s yours gives it that warm and welcoming feeling. Whether you’re mixing old photographs with new photographs or old furniture with new furniture, the blending of elements is what makes your home uniquely yours. Mercury glass, also known as silvered glass, is one of those elements that can be incorporated into your decor: it just makes everything a little prettier, and stores like Pottery Barn, Ballard Designs, Home Decorators, and Pier One all sell products featuring Mercury glass. The candlesticks pictured above decorate the mantle in…

  • Imitation is the Most Sincere Form of Flattery

    June 28, 2013 /

    I blog. I Facebook. I Tweet. I Instagram. I even occasionally YouTube. But lately, I’ve done a lot of pinning on Pinterest. As someone who enjoys magazines–from magazines about fashion, home, travel, and writing–Pinterest is a great way to “collect” ideas electronically. Don’t get me wrong, though. I have still spent a fortune on home decorating magazines. The house we’ve moved into is 40 years old and has been lovingly and beautifully restored on the inside. I love the character of the home. And now what I love about Pinterest is the ability to share pretty photos and information in a setting where we can gather ideas, assess them, use…

  • Armed With Ideas: Thoughts on Moving

    May 3, 2013 /

    We’re moving. Some of you who know me and live near me know this already. Some blog readers may not. After four years of looking and debating, we’ve decided to take the plunge and head back to my roots in Severna Park. I couldn’t be more delighted. We tend to want to recreate for our own children the fond memories we have of our own upbringing—days spent on the Magothy River, hanging at the Ulmstead pool and beach, playing in the back yard, and smacking balls around for hours on the tennis courts. I had it good, as did my husband, and we can only do what we think is…
