MASSACHUSETTS, USA: Party Time!

My parents threw me one birthday party when I was around 4 years old.  I don’t remember much from the party except that it was an exceptionally sunny and cheery day.  I remember running around outside with my friends, and that is about it.  I am certain there was a cake and gifts.

I don’t think we played any games, and there certainly weren’t any party favors.  Were there balloons?  Maybe… Streamers? Doubt it.  I am the youngest of three children, born in the mid 70’s, so I am betting my mom kept things fairly simple.

I just survived planning and executing my oldest daughter’s 6th birthday party.   It took me one full month to put the whole bash together.  I had big plans for her this year, big plans.  You see, last year for her 5th party I really tried to knock it out of the park. (more…)

Create Art Every Day

I am an artist. I’ve discovered my inner passion for art at the ripe age of 35. I’m no Mary Cassatt or Frida Kahlo but I am definitely a right-brained individual.  Hey, Grandma Moses didn’t discover her inner talent of being an artist until the tender age of 76!  I discovered my love of art through teaching my children about it.  My motto is to have my daughters create art every day.

I home-school my two daughters, they are ages five and two-years-old.   I am currently in my second year of home-schooling.  Last year I home-schooled my oldest daughter for preschool.  During the preschool year I created art lessons on various artists such as:  Jackson Pollock, Edgar Degas, Vincent van Gogh, Jacob Lawrence, Pablo Picasso, Michelangelo, Henri Matisse,  Andy Warhol and Georgia O’Keeffe.  I found while  researching these artists and creating activities to tie into the lessons for my daughter, I became inspired.
