I Am an Illustrator.

There’s grocery list additions, refereeing your kids, quiet muttering to yourself when they don’t listen, idle threats. Endless requests for certain members in your house to put on pants. Stupid jokes. But every now and then, if…

There’s a few different movie theaters doing cheap summer movies this year, and like a nerd I found the full list, cross referenced each theater’s offerings with each other and my husband’s work schedule, and came up with our ultimate cheap movie agenda.

Kitty High Five!
I’ve heard Phil talk about Kitty High Five a few times now – always quick mentions of it, and then we move on to other topics of conversation. All I knew about it was that it was a song that he and his friends sang at school… Nothing else. This morning, it came up again…

Can I Have Just Two More Minutes?
“Can I have just two more minutes?” Anyone who’s been anywhere fun with Josh and I plus kids has heard this from Phil at the end, when it’s time to pack up and go home. And when those two minutes are up, we get asked for another two minutes. I have to tell you. I’m…

DIY Coasters – Cork with Hand Drawn Repeat Patterns
I feel like I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect coasters for ages. I had this cool wine painted coaster craft I came up with a few years ago, but over time the bark on the wood slices I used for those DIY coasters were meticulously picked off by mystery hands… Phil… And then…
