We have a bit of a problem around here. I do a lot of craft/blog/flip-house projects on my dining room table. It’s just easier for me to work on them in the house as opposed to the garage. The problem is the door going to the garage. It’s not my friend. It squeaks and apparently...

While riding our bikes down the boardwalk on a beautiful spring day, I couldn’t help but look at the boards themselves and think about all the character in them. The happy beach goers, the dropped ice cream cones, battering storms, and long spans of peace against the crash of the ocean. I was thinking how...
