The education of my child has been by FAR the hardest part of parenting. Why didn't anyone tell us? Or were things just different when we were growing up? I don't know, but I'll tell you all of my friends are feeling the same way. It's crazy.

Thanks for sharing this! I'm inspired. I too wish I had gone to art school but even at 42 years old I'm still too scared to branch out. I love to sew, bake, read and create, but only for myself and my family. It seems too scary to share it with the rest of the world at this point! Silly - I know. I wish you the best of luck and I think your work is beautiful. You a true talent and I hope you continue to follow your passion. Keep us posted on your experience with your mentor!!

Anywho, this video is an interesting take on our current school system and it's future. I can't say I disagree with him....... Continue reading

Mistakes and Imperfections

I kind of like them, or at least I'm learning to embrace them? This is what I think: they make life so much richer and authentic. I should know, I've made enough of them in my life - and that's... Continue reading
