INSPIRATION BEHIND THE BLOG<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Growing up, my mom was always doing something creative. \u00a0She brought beauty into our home and lives through her creating. \u00a0She taught us to love it, too. She and my aunt were always working on crafts. \u00a0So many pass through my memory and bring a smile: bird houses, Christmas ornaments, decoupaged plaques, painted stools, Easter eggs, the list goes on and on. One of my favorite memories is making little Christmas bells with my mom and my brothers. It was a simple project of putting tiny pearls and sequins on pins, but we loved making them. We felt like we were artists, too. We still hang those bells on our trees.<\/p>\n

My mom is an incredible painter. I don’t say that because I’m her daughter, she truly is. \u00a0She puts her heart and soul into a piece. \u00a0Some of her art graces \u00a0my home. I treasure them. \u00a0My mom taught me what \u00a0being creative brings to one’s life. She made it a priority. She modeled to us that even in the hardest times of life, \u00a0one can find joy and beauty. \u00a0I learned from her to put what matters at the top of my list and live it. I dedicate this blog to her.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

LIVING MY LIST<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

My husband, Bob, has many silly nicknames for me.\u00a0 One of them is \u2018Listy Lindy\u2019 for my love of lists (I do adore a good list.) I\u2019ve been thinking a lot about priorities. It’s \u00a0so easy to let what really matters slide to the bottom or even off the list. The fact that people create bucket lists speaks to this. \u00a0I have always been wired to live all out, to love people all out, to celebrate life all out, and do the things that bring me joy.\u00a0 As time passes, this drive is stronger.\u00a0 I love to create, organize, write, entertain and decorate. This blog will feature these passions of mine. It is a reflection of living my list. I hope it inspires you to live yours!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
