We were just four moms driving home from a night out of celebrating our good … [Read more...] about Angels and Airbags

Last Saturday I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I was featured on the lovely blog of one of my my new Internet friends Heatherlee Chan. Her work is captivating and she is as sweet and as friendly as can be. She paints flowers and girls and books and scenery and all types of happy. We … [Read more...] about Blog Hoppin’
