Last night we celebrated our Denim and Diamonds event here in Scottsdale. One of the options we had when looking at decorating and theming this event, was having a live burro, carrying water for attendees. Well, this was a must of course. The team here at the hotel had told me when we were planning…

Friends Decorate Your Life

When my husband and I moved into our place last year, one of the things I noticed first in the kitchen was the large amount of space above our refrigerator. I’ve pondered for a while, what to put up there. Well, in April I had an idea, scary I know 🙂 We have one of…

A Lesson in Legos

Our family, like many others, has a looooong history with Legos. Of course, both of our children played with them. Like most, they started out with the big Duplo versions and then made their way to the sought-after Lego sets. Our youngest became engrossed with these little building blocks. Actually, she became so engrossed that…

Father Time

Many of you have mentioned to me via text, email, social media, or live, “Kim I don’t know how you find the time to do your blog, but I’m so glad you have.” My response to that is, first, THANK YOU for the kind words, but in full disclosure, there are many times I sit…

A Dog’s Life

Dogs, they are some of the most amazing creatures. Big or small, loud or quiet, you name it, they are such loving animals. We adopt a dog as a pet and before we know it they are family. They understand our feelings, they provide entertainment, they rely on us, and most importantly they have unconditional…

A Day of Rest

I remember when I was a kid, many of the stores in town were closed on Sundays. Sunday was a day when families went to church, and would gather for dinner with the grandparents. Sundays were slower, they had a different feel to them. Things have changed along the way. You can buy liquor now…

Time to Start Somewhere

I’ve taken pictures of sunrises and sunsets for as long as I can remember. Many times, most times I should say, I wasn’t looking for the perfect picture. I wasn’t looking for the sought-after “green flash” when the sun kisses the ocean. I’ve found some of the most glorious sunrises over a Midwest cornfield in…
