We are trying our hardest to raise a little bilingual Spanish-English person in our house. As a person who didn’t learn Spanish until the age of 13 and who now teaches high school Spanish, I know what a challenge it can be to acquire language at a later stage in life. That being said, my [...]
I’ve been anxiously awaiting the summer for weeks and weeks and it’s finally here! I cannot wait to spend some quality, down-time with my daughter and hubby and enjoy some of the great outdoor activities that Baltimore has to offer. I thought that you might want to share in my list of summer fun, [...]

However, something magical happened while I worked on the sunset-inspired abstraction and it turned out ok! I feel [...]
Last weekend before the flu attacked like whoa, we spent an awesome afternoon in Hampden, the “hipster hood” of Baltimore. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a winter-friendly stroll about a small town. There are a bunch of great, quirky little shops and vintage thrift shops to duck into to avoid the winter [...]
I had the privilege of attending Etsy’s Home for the Holidays celebration tonight for the Baltimore sellers…and it was a blast!! What a great idea, Etsy. I got to mingle and meet some great artists and sellers in the Baltimore area. More impressive, Etsy even took time to send two of their fabulous employees all [...]
