Shades of Sunshine is my creative outlet. I write about household projects, what I want to wear, ideas concocted in the middle of the night, etc. I'm obsessed with: my darling daughter, my equally-as-darling husband, decorating our new house, jewelry-making, fashion, blogging, organic baby food and getting back in shape after baby.
