The Power of "Tucking in"Let us go down memory lane just a little. Do you remember as a kid growing up, the comforting, secure feeling you may have got from your parents tucking you in at night. I do. And I now see this every night with my younger daughter who relishes in this nightly [...]
You may have noticed a Van Gogh hanging on the marquee of this blog. It is my rendition of Starry Starry Night recently completed at Painting with a Twist. I know shameless self promotion.
