Cart Before the Horse. Chronicle of a mom's journey with her family to embrace a creative life. Tuesday, November 5, 2013. It all started back in 2012. October 31st, 2012 to be exact. It was a balmy day, about 20 degrees warmer than today, but with a light breeze. Something about the impending night of candy and costumes had me feeling nostalgic. Nostalgic for the old days of pumpkin carving, kids playing and neighborly fellowship. So I wracked my brain for a solution. What to do? As you may remember.

I sort of feel like Anna in Frozen. After the glorious experience of finally being released into the freedom of the great, sunny, warm outdoors, she is relegated to shivering in the bitter cold and ice as her world is plunged below freezing. Last week we were treated to temps up to 80 degrees. Shorts! So, even...

Sometimes I am concerned that a lack of free time in general is going to produce fewer inventors in our kids' generation. Overly structured time leads to less idle brain noodling, right? As I got closer, I could see it wasn't haphazard. It rarely is with her. She was rolling the duct tape rolls to see how far they would go. She then was pairing up th...All in on...

Cart Before the Horse. Chronicle of a mom's journey with her family to embrace a creative life. Friday, January 6, 2012. We Scrubbed This Post. I have a very fun project to discuss. One that we spent time imagining, planning, creating and finishing. But, I can’t talk about it yet because we made it for someone. Ha, ha! I’ll fill in the details soon. Stay tuned! We spotted a mocha-spice recipe, perfect for someone that we will affectionately call Starbucks-affected (I am not. I initially chose olive oil b...
