As all my regular readers know, Tiara has a serious obsession with crayons. I usually buy 5 packs every time I visit Target and hide them in the hall closet.

Where is the brush?
You may find this hard to believe but it is practically impossible to find a brush in our house. You are probably thinking, well if you just keep it in a drawer I am sure it will be there tomorrow when you look for it. If only it was that easy. The truth is…
Am I bipolar?
Sunday night one of my best friends from college, Mara, came to dinner. She lives in Arizona so I usually only see her a couple of times a year, but whenever she is in town she always comes over to drink wine with Louie and I. After we drank our chardonnay, ate salmon and…
And her new place to color is?

How did this happen?
This is one of my best friends from college, Laura. She was, note the emphasis on was, an amazing graphic designer in her day. She has 4 girls and as a result hasn’t worked in 15 years. I have been bugging her about my logo for my blog, because I don’t have…
