Add your own splash of color

Every day is an opportunity to add your own splash of color ~ Jen Goode

I paint crafts and kids projects and sometimes something for around the house, but I don’t paint images to hang on the wall. Yet, I love the potential this jar is filled with. I [...]

Hidden Rainbow in the midst of an oncoming storm

I recently had to deal with an issue that I found myself questioning whether I should stand up for myself or not. I brought up a situation I was unhappy with and instead of a line of communication resulting in better understanding, I felt like I needed to defend myself, prove myself, share the laundry [...]

Winter view inspiration

I original took this photo a couple days ago with the intent to share because I was thinking the weather outside was not helping inspire any kind of creativity. It was cold and foggy and on the verge of snowing. Right before Christmas, snow is great, but I just wasn’t feeling it, I wanted a [...]

Walking along the twinkling lights after seeing the Colorado Ballet's Nutcracker

I went with some friends to see the Nutcracker presented by the Colorado Ballet last night. I hadn’t seen the show since I was a little girl. I think I was 8 when my mom took me, so I didn’t remember much except that I had loved seeing the ballerinas seem to float across the [...]

Skewed perspectives and happy families

November 14, 2011
My son and my mom

My mom made a comment about how interesting it was to hear such different perspectives on events people experience together. I had been talking about handling something with my kids which was a similar situation to something she had gone through with me. She’s made this comment before, but it just occurred to me today [...]

Goode kid playing baseball

My son’s high school baseball team is hosting an invitational golf tournament at the fabulous Pinery Country Club, and YOU are invited! Now usually, when kids have fund raising events, mom and dad take the forms to work and pitch for others to support my kids. I work from home, in my kitchen, remember? I’ve [...]

School has started, Sell Sell Sell!

September 8, 2011
School fundraising

Now, we aren’t selling our kids… yet. Seems every year, just after school starts, there are piles of things we have to sell. None of the organizations or fundraising coordinators coordinate with anyone else to make sure we can give our best effort towards whatever it is they want us to raise funds for. So [...]

Thor and Burger King shouldn’t be playing so nice together

May 12, 2011
Thor movie

So I just saw a commercial for Burger King in conjunction with the new Thor Movie that makes me wonder where the marketing focus group went. Burger King has always had (or at least for the last 6 years or so) really off commercials, but this one came across as a bit normal, until you [...]
