The 4-Hour Guru

I'm very excited to get my hands on a copy of The 4-Hour Chef by Tim Ferriss. My son gave me a copy of The 4-Hour Workweek and I was obsessed. Next came the 4-Hour Body which truly changed the way I viewed eating and exercise. He is the perfect human experiment. He does all the work so that we don't have to. We can just take in the info and run with it to make our own lives better. I'm not sure what the publishing controversy is all about, but I will buy the book.

I love to cook so I'm anxious to read what this is all about.

The Second Grade Poet

A girl from the second grade at the school I work at wrote the most beautiful poem. As she was reciting it to the class I pictured what the poem would look like. I finally got to work on it and it's finished. She has an amazing gift for words.........at the ripe old age of 8 years old.

Very Girly!

The Beautiful Little Bathroom

Good things, no, great things come in small packages. That's how I feel about this bathroom. One of my projects of the summer.

Little bathrooms tend to get the shaft,



but not this one!



The shower floor is my favorite. The little pebbles are surprisingly comfy to stand on. Almost as good as a foot massage.

When choosing a color for any room, buy two or three sample shades, paint a large 11x14 square and hang in several spots of the room. Look at it throughout the day because the light will change the color. It is worth the extra work.

Now it's time to hang some great artwork!
