Dear HGTV,
First of all, let me tell you what a huge fan I am of your channel. I recently read the press release announcing your partnership with Heather Armstrong of Dooce and your show, Design Happens.
While I am thrilled and looking forward to seeing what Mrs. Armstrong will bring to the show, I thought I’d [...]
Friends,
As you know, I’ve been sick the past few weeks. I’ve spent my weekends indoors, wrapped in blankets, barely moving from the fetal position on the couch. Yeah…it’s serious.

The real miracle is that I even set one in the first place – this, followed by another miracle of me taking it halfway seriously. What was this remarkable deed you ask?

Oh how I love getting holiday mail! My husband doesn’t bother getting the mail because it’s my job. Just like it’s his job to take out the recycling, it’s mine to get the mail. Equal partnership and chores at its finest. It boggles my mind when November 30th rolls around and I begin receiving the [...]
Kacey: Mom to Emi, lover of good design and original style, educator to tomorrow's world leaders, rejected the first gift that Francesca ever gave her at age 5.
Francesca: Mom to Giancarlo and Lucia, lover of good food, red wine, and all that is celebrity news, still envious of Kacey's Swatch watch collection from junior high.
