life list update.

I forgot to write down my cliche meanings yesterday, but I’m making up for it with a new project. Because #16? Check, check and check: My friends at Jack Cards contacted me over the holidays to ask if I wanted to participate in a 30 Day Gratitude project. And you know what? It’s always a

renovation update.

You guys want to see our kitchen, yes? I thought so. Here’s what the space looked like last week after a lotta, lotta work: And here’s what our kitchen looked like yesterday!: Those are lower cabinets, friends!

dance party, dance party.

One of my goals for 2011 is to dance party daily, and so far, I’m doing a slammin’ job. In fact, I’m posting a month’s worth of daily dance parties for January right here on Ground Rules (a fun project from Lisa Warninger). Care to join me? The world needs more dancin’.
