"I never think about beauty. I think only how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong." Buckminster Fuller
When I quit my job to be a stay at home mom people used to ask me if I would miss "using my brain." Little do they know that being a mom of a three year-old involves more problem-solving than, well, most jobs. For instance, how do you find more cheese, when there is no more cheese? However, being a mom means that the solution is usually beautiful, big smiles, and more cheese!
So today when you are dragging through the drudgery and scrambling for solutions, take a minute and try to make them beautiful ones.
Yep, there's nothing like motherhood to bring out those creative juices.

I have always been a fan of making the ordinary beautiful. That is why I love to use real dishes, not paper plates!
