Championing the makers, artists, and wanderers in all of us.
This weekend, while I was giving the bathroom an overdue-but-not-thorough cleaning, I started thinking about times when doing something really small turns out to have an impact.
Here’s what I decided as I wiped down the sink:
You don’t have to do it all. Do what you can. A little something good is still something good. And good things make a difference.

Microblog Mondays: we’re bringing blogging back.
Phillip and I just celebrated our 10th anniversary with a mini road trip.
I try not too get mushy here often.
But this seems like a fitting occasion to mention I am so crazy about this super smart, sweet, handsome guy. Phillip is my favorite person to be with on a road trip – or just hanging out at the house – and he makes me laugh harder than anyone.
There’s no one I’d rather share the journey with.

The Sonoran Desert isn’t known for mosquitoes, but after an unusually wet September, they’re everywhere. It seems like I get new bites every time I leave the house – or don’t.
I finally resorted to pulling the bug repellent (ick) out of the cabinet, but that didn’t even work. Maybe it’s old. I’d like to find a natural (or at least less chemical-y) solution that works.
My great grandmother used to swear by Avon’s Skin-So-Soft for pretty much everything, including keeping mosquitoes away during humid Indiana summers. I also found an article with some interesting DIY natural repellent ideas, like putting baby oil or cider vinegar on your skin.
Have you tried any of these or found something else that works for you?
