Next week I head back into the classroom to teach art as part of a Summer Arts Academy. I have been super busy planning our time together, and yesterday I picked up 100 pounds of clay! The students (aged first thru sixth grade) will be rolling, squishing, and forming various items out of clay next […]
I Met Hillary Clinton!
Ok, so it was for only a brief moment as I walked through the book signing line, but it was a very exciting moment! Yesterday morning, I headed out bright and early for my drive to San Francisco. I arrived home really late on Wednesday night from my flight back from Denver, CO – so I was […]
Fun for the Whole Family
We are a large family, and the kids’ ages range from 12 to 24. With older kids living out of the home and out of the area, we really don’t get to spend a whole lot of time with everyone present. We cherish the time when we are all together. This mostly happens during the holidays or […]
Positively Busy!
You may have noticed that I have been away from the blogging world lately. Honestly, I have just been busier than usual. Which means late at night, when I usually start writing my blogs I have been positively exhausted! I just finished teaching my last week of school. Last week for this year’s school year […]
Clay Creations for Kids

My Daughter’s Journey to Boston University
Sending my daughter off to college some 3,148 miles away from home was hard; teary-eyed, all-emotional, sad-face hard. Now four years later, I am thrilled to report that my daughter has graduated! So why is there sadness? I have come to love the city of Boston and the excellent friends that she has made while […]

My Road to Motherhood
A few days before my first child was born I was frantically planting flowers in the garden. This is California, and I was still trying to get the winter flowers into the ground before my first child was born. My nesting instincts had clicked in full gear and had extended to the yard as well […]
Planning a Friday Night Dinner Party
Having a dinner party on a Friday night, after working all week, having kids, and sticking to a training schedule, takes a bit of planning and lots of organization. First off, I am all about getting together with friends on Friday nights – but it’s usually order a pizza, toss a salad, and open a […]
