In this episode, I am talking with artist, author, and teacher Deanne Fitzpatrick. For 6 podcasts we are doing something really special and different. Deanne and I have each chosen three topics that are relevant to us right now. These talks are between...
I am constantly in awe of the beauty that is all around me if I have my eyes open to it. Sometimes I find it snuggled up watching a movie with my kids, watching our daughter come home from college just to go to the Daddy Daughter Ball where she is the oldest daughter...
I live in a creative world that has predominately been created, supported and sustained by women. I am constantly reminded how much of a powerful impact we have when we work with one another. It has been through these collaborations with other women that I have...
The first time I ever met Kate Poole I asked her what perfume she was wearing. I then became obsessed knowing she created natural skincare products and perfumes. Her spirit is gentle and kind and how she sees the world and nature invites us to see the beauty...
Gathering other small business owners together to create community, clarify their message and leave with a plan has been one of the highlights of my life. The women, the businesses, the dreams, the struggles, the connections and how they left ON FIRE! I have watched...
Once the house is clear of Christmas and spring in Colorado is still months away…there is this in-between of seasons. This is the time when I like to organize, still honor winter with textures and layers throughout the home, candles, pine branches from...
In this episode, I am talking with Myquillyn Smith. She is a lover of all things home, her mantra is “it doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful” and she loves to help others live well in their homes too. I can’t forget that she is also a Wall Street...
I believe spaces should be used well, beauty should not be saved just for company and home should reflect the hearts that live there and not just the trends we see around us. I am not a designer but putting home together has been my heart for as long as I can...

Last weekend I finally got around to cleaning out our laundry room and organizing our entertaining cabinets. That room had been a dumping ground since Christmas and with workshops (hopefully) starting back up again late June I knew it was time to tackle it. It was fun...
We have members from all over the world and like never before we see each other and can relate on a whole new level. I wish it wouldn’t have taken this pandemic but I am thankful for all of the ways I am seeing people reach out, encourage, give what they can and...

We loved sharing our home dressed up for Christmas and your feedback is always the sweetest. We always get so many questions about our home, how we decorate and how to create a home that looks modern but feels cozy at the same time. I think creating home is a...
I recently had the honor of being interviewed by Jamie Ridler of Jamie Ridler Studios. We talked business, creativity and home. Jamie Ridler: You teach many art classes and also run a beautiful hub rich with inspirational creative classes. In your experience, what’s...
The older I get the more I just go more with the flow and I don’t stick to rules (and most of the time the rules I created for myself). Even a few years ago I made sure we didn’t decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving. I felt like it wasn’t...
It is Friday! That means the weekend and extra time and… If you have been wanting a gorgeous abstract painting on that perfect wall in your home but don’t want to spend a ton of money you will love my news! When I first saw that Jennifer LeBrun...

I know that one of your favorite courses that we offer on our creative network is anything with home! Being creative and creating a comfortable and beautiful space is at the heart of many of us (and even more desire to know how). But where do we begin? How do we make...
It has been 2 1/2 months since we have been in our new home and land. In some ways it feels like we have been here forever and then we are reminded we don’t even know this land or home yet. Before we moved in we had the whole interior painted white and all of...

A new year is upon us! It is always crazy and amazing that we get to be a part of this beautiful life and what we choose to do with our days. I waste many. I makes others full of goodness. I have felt a change coming for awhile now and I love how everything is falling...

Do I get to wear boots yet? That is what fall is all about! OK, maybe fall is amazing for other things too. How about I was married in October, two of my babies were born in the fall, the cooler temperatures, bulky sweaters, getting all cozy and reading a book, family...
I would have to admit that I am probably a little more (or a lot more) sentimental than my siblings. There is nothing good or bad about this but I do find myself affected differently than my siblings at times. When my parents sold the house we grew up in I was a...
Before I get started I wanted you to see a video that I made just for you. I wanted you to hear a little bit from me about the course and why I would even make it in the first place. {and yes…I have bangs now…and I am really diggin’ them and so is my...

Obviously I like writing about this because I am back for more:-) My last post was supposed to be longer but I needed to make dinner for my family. I thought it would be weird to tell them to go make themselves a sandwich while I write about creating a cozy home....
I know I am not alone when I say that the cooler weather inspires and encourages me to love on my home more. The leaves falling and the cooler days and nights just make everything just a bit more cozy. I love having a cozy home and making my family feel warm and...
Today is the official launch of Creatively Made Home! So many awesome, fun, beautiful projects and videos are underway and I thought it was about time that we celebrated all of the goodness coming out of our next e-course! I am hooked on e-courses because… *The...

(pause my music below before you watch the video) This week I went into Under Armour to get some new clothes for Jack. Every time I am in there I love their slogan. I think it is genius and it is thought provoking to me. {Protect This House. I Will} We make choices...
