Zion has an obsession with letters and numbers. Therefore, when I was asked to review these Uncle Goose Big and Tall blocks(soon to be on the market), I gave a resounding Yes because my immediate thought was “I’d love to see how Zion manipulates them.” There are 20...
I was so giddy with excitement when I happened upon this article while perusing the New York Times recently. It’s been awhile since I’ve visited Jamaica and for a few minutes I was able to transport myself to a place that holds many of my fondest memories… If I could...

This is a view of the sunroom. This weekend, I decided to spray paint the base of that side table gold. I already have gold accents elsewhere in the room, so it made sense. Plus, I’ve been seeing the gold based tables everywhere! The table was originally...
I am just amazed at how quickly my kiddos are growing up. Way too fast for Mommy’s liking. How was your weekend? We got a brief break over the weekend from the daily rainy weather that we’ve been having. Thank goodness! So off to the park we went. Blessings and Happy...
