Why we host home tours, and what they can teach us about beauty in the home

Why we should raise our kids to choose good for themselves

I’m standing at the front of the classroom leading a discussion on Fahrenheit 451 when there came a quiet knock on the door. “Just a moment,” I said to my students, and as I walked over to see who was disrupting 5th period, the visitor opened the door herself.  It was a delivery from the […]

11 affordable kid-friendly rugs for the whole house

Of all the home goods to shop for, I think shopping for rugs is the most difficult. Let’s face it: they’re expensive!
