If there’s one thing that I can’t stand, it would have to be darkness. I hate for my house to be dark at night when I’m awake. I normally sleep with a couple of lights on, simply because I have such a terrible fear of the dark. I choose my lighting fixtures by what stands […]

We still have so much to do before we leave for vacation. The kids need swimming trunks, Keith has several things he needs to buy for our boat so that we can take it out in the ocean, and now I’m being told that we need to get some new fishing tackle. Apparently, what we […]

Not too long ago, I got the bright idea to do some painting in my home. It was one of the hardest things that I have ever done. I thought it was so simple to paint a room, just pick out the color, put it on the walls and you’re done. I was so wrong. […]
