A Bookworm's Dream

August 30, 2014
A Bookworm's Dream A painting collaboration with my toddler     Peace and quiet... a rare commodity in my life. As I stared at Eve's sketch, wondering what I would transform it into, I was soaking in every ounce of quiet as she peacefully slept. I knew it wouldn't be long until she woke and the second half of our day would begin. It...

Babysitting at it's finest....

August 30, 2014
Babysitting at it's finest... JUST kidding... every parent has been here before.  (And if not you must be a machine and have to teach me your ways.)
