Hi there! I hope you are all having a nice summer! We are having a stay-cation this year at our neighborhood pool, since we can't be away from a few of our projects at the moment. We're thinking about heading to the mountains in East Tennessee for a short trip in the fall though. If you have suggestions on where to stay or what to see in the Great Smokies, let me know! We are thinking more ... View Post

I'm still pondering those, but when I figure it out, I'll have some more January pictures for you! For now, here's one of my favorite Christmas pictures. These three ... View Post
How to Be Good at Picking Paint Colors
