So, think about it—in an age where print publications are not as popular, coloring books made a comeback. Ummmm… clearly we have an infatuation with art as humans.

But WHY?! 

Well, in my previous blog post I talked about WHY ART MATTERS…

Today I’m diving deeper…

I’m taking you behind the scenes, and rounding up some questions I get asked ALL THE TIME! I’m talking Secret Time, Burt Kreischer Style.

Let’s go!

You know that feeling when you wake up from the BEST NAP?! It was the perfect length so you don’t feel groggy, the perfect temperature  so you don’t wake up all sweaty, and your husband has corralled the kids so they don’t go in and wake you up every five seconds?? YES THAT NAP! It’s […]

I remember sitting in my high school art class as a senior–the only one I’ve ever taken since I had to to graduate–and my art teacher said, “Art is good for your brain!” Honestly, I always loved creating so part of me was like AMEN SISTER!, while the other part of me was a little more skeptical.

Here are three ways I’ve created a self-care routine that isn’t selfish, but refuels my SOUL so that I can be more like Jesus.

Let’s think about this friends. You’ve invested your hard earned bucks into your BRAND NEW HOUSE, and now you want to make it feel like home.

You’ve got a couple of options:

Run to Target, buy a bunch of crap you don’t really need, and find random places for it to stay until next year’s garage sale

Make your house feel like HOME by prudently investing in DYNAMITE decor that FEELS LIKE HOME (and since you invested in something you love, likely won’t be in the garbage or garage sale bins next January)
