I especially love to read those about interior design and organizing and have been wanting to create one of my own as a means for exchanging ideas and a way of cataloging my own thoughts and inspirations.

I am now a stay at home mom but in my former life I was a French teacher--I have my B.A., M.A., and A.B.D. (next step to Ph.D. in French literature). I love teaching and miss it but in the meantime I am enjoying operating a part-time home organizing and design business. Contact me for more info if you are interested!
