| Introduction | Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Barbara and I live in a small suburb near Chicago. In my younger days I was an interior space planner then one day I got married, had a baby and my life took a turn. Sometime later I got divorced, bought a house and my baby is a baby no more. He’s finished college but is still living at home. I also recently picked up another roomy, my mom. This blog used to be about me redecorating my house but now it’s about living with three generations and because it makes me happy, still redecorating my home. I never remarried and I admit that living without a husband is, let’s just say different. I’ve learned to do a lot of things on my own and the rest my son helps me with. When neither of us can handle an issue then I have no shame in calling on friends or pulling out my credit card. Life’s a journey with many surprises and many paths. The challenge is knowing when to follow the path that’s been laid for you and when to forge a new one. The answer is not always obvious but my prayer is that I follow the path that is best for me. I hope you enjoy the blog as I share my life in this small house with the loves of my life, my mom, my son and my pug. |
