My grandmother was originally from NY and my grandparents took several trips across country throughout the years. We joke that we are long lost sisters…I see the resemblance, don’t you? There is also fun facts about the fish that are native to AZ (which my out of town guests enjoyed), as well as all the favorite ocean animals.

I pulled some old photos just so you could see them, because I thought they looked really nice… And I kept the jewelry toned down with this beautiful pendant my Dad designed for my Grandmother and I inherited. My mother and sister have copies as well, so I was glad to inherit this one, because I like the idea of us all having one to wear.

Use them to help you learn about what species and varieties will do well in your yard or in your garden. My Grandmother in the Midwest used to trade plants with her sister in the far west so each could have different varieties. Sometimes free samples arrive with the flower catalogs as well.

Here are some of the strategies I implemented to make housework, well, not exactly enjoyable, but certainly helped me be motivated to do what was needed. It really doesn’t matter what your neighbour, friend or sister-in-law does; that’s her concern. Have the confidence of your convictions and stick to your own cleaning routine.

Work With What You've Got

I got this dresser, which I use for lingerie, as well as my vanity and stool from Craigslist. I've got my earrings and rings on display as well as this ceramic cupcake from Valentines Day a couple years ago and some adorable kittens friends brought me back from a road trip several years ago. And it's perfect.

Libby Day was seven when her mother and two sisters were murdered. To his wife’s shock, Nathan wants to adopt the boy…but the child’s grandmother steps in. There, he finds the children from the photographs–alive and well–despite the islanders’ assertion that all were killed decades ago. Definitely a page turner!
