I'm inspired by my little girl who's right now, as I write this, singing the Barney song, "I love you, you love me, we're a happy family..." you know how it goes.
So totally inspired by watching her learn, and grow and change with each second of the day. Such a miracle.
Thanks Ali,
Francesca

I am inspired by different things each day. Yesterday my inspiration came from a day of floral arranging for a wedding. Today's inspiration started with a blog I stumbled upon for organizing my home. Inspiration is EVERYWHERE! :o)

I am inspired by a lot of things. My family and kids inspire me for many things. I'm also inspired by displays in stores. Seeing new designs and colors in the new season's clothes is another way I'm inspired. Thanks for being so generous!

I have been inspired by my daughter, she has been having alot of doors closing on her and she is slowly opening new doors. Plus my darling granddaughter who is struggling to learn how to read, the other night her mom was sick and she read her a story and mom fell asleep, now how cute is that? Great give aways.

Lately, I've been very inspired by the summer sky! Blue is my favorite color, and it is so crystal-clear on most mornings in summertime. Plus, I love watching the dark clouds roll in every afternoon. I love the way the clouds seem to layer over one another, and the way all the white, blues, and grays look together. It's so beautiful and majestic, and for some reason, it makes me want to write.
