These are my favorite tools and supplies when I do Plein Air Painting. Springtime is the best. I can’t wait to get outside again.

I paint with both oil and acrylic paints on a variety of surfaces. These are my favorite supplies.

My craving is making art. I make a lot of art and use a lot of supplies. I sell my art to fund my habit. I make enough to cover all my expenses and keep some extra in my pocket, too. I hope this list will help you discover how to fund your own art addictions.

My family loved this trip in July. We stayed in Lauterbrunnen in the Berner Oberland and took day trips to most of the adventures in this list. We've been there twice and enjoyed it each time. Buy a Swiss Travel Pass (in the list) and you can go wherever you want. Kids were welcome everywhere we went.

You will need at least a couple of weeks to enjoy the beauty of this amazing country. Bring your walking shoes and get ready for adventure. You might find you want to move there!

If you have any Irish heritage, then you will definitely want to visit Ireland!

My favorite places and activities near Bend, Oregon. So many adventures.

Our dog is part of the family, so of course we take her, but that can be tricky, so we always plan ahead. This is a list that has been an incredible resource for us.

When a new pup comes home, lives are changed. This is a list I created for my new pup.

There are so many places that welcome dogs, but these are some of my favorites.

These are nonfiction books that have inspired me, challenged me, and taught me new things!

This is a list of places my friends and I like to go each week for a happy hour meetup! We take turns picking the place.

These are great places to visit in Tacoma Washington and the South Sound.
