My DIY husband is back with a request to help a reader avoid a paint can mess. You'll love this easy and efficient tip from a professional painter. Let's talk about that paint can. Many of you may have heard of putting a layer of plastic wrap over the opening before tapping the lid down. Not a bad idea, but not … [Read more...]

For the last three years I have traveled to Orlando, FL, to meet up with some amazing women who are adoptive and foster moms.

Can you remember way back to being a student in school? (And for some of us, that's farther back than others!) I can and I never realized until I graduated from college how much of an A personality, workaholic I am. I don't like to rest until a project is finished.
