    Simplifying Christmas

    ByMary Crozier November 30, 2019November 30, 2019

    I don’t know about you, but I am STILL cleaning up after Thanksgiving. It was a wonderful day, especially with the weather being moody and overcast. If you are looking for a cocktail (or can be made without alcohol) for Christmas, this one is certainly the right color! I am not a fan of anything…

    My Recent Paintings

    ByMary Crozier November 27, 2019November 27, 2019

So today’s post will be a quick one, completely unrelated to Thanksgiving. I am wrapping up another painting class session with the amazing teacher/artist Joann Augur. The class is once a…

    The Table is Set!

    Bedroom Remodel Reveal

    ByMary Crozier November 23, 2019April 16, 2022

    My son’s bedroom re-do has taken longer than I would have liked. Am I completely finished? No, but I am close. There are window treatments to complete and of course, sorting through years of his belongings. I want to accomplish that with him, because I would probably keep all the grammar and high school projects…

    Ways to Decompress

    ByMary Crozier November 19, 2019May 19, 2023

    We all have times in our lives where we feel like we have one stress after another. The weight of the world weighs heavily on our shoulders. Sometimes it is fleeting; other times you want to shout out to the universe enough already! Though it would be nice to have stress-free days, life just doesn’t…
