I'm particularly looking forward to walking outside with my new puppy, Fozzie, and enjoying all those great familiar feelings that comes with spring. Longer sun-filled days and star-filled nights, budding trees and flowers, graduations, family get-togethers, and so much more!
Mom and I are going on a trip that has been a lifetime dream for both of us: we're going to Paris! We've talked about this for years and now we're finally going. Mom has us booked solid with museums and tours, and I'm looking forward to fresh croiss...

Spring is in the air. I love this time of year as the days are longer and the sun shines brighter.
I have had a busy few months. I just returned from the Housewares Show in Chicago and am excited about designing and creating for all of you. Mom and I saw a great show in NYC recently. I always love the buzz of the city.
I bid a sad farewell to my 13 year old Sake, a chow-shepherd mix. She has been a part of my life for so long that there is emptiness around the house...

Hope, excitement, renewed promises and the feeling of a fresh start. I also enjoy the comfort of the winter season in Pennsylvania, filled with family, friends, comfort foods and movies on snow days. I am enjoying watching my new puppy, Fozzie, prance through the snow and explore a new season with my other dog Sake not far behind.
Another one of my favorite things about January is my annual trip with my BFF Amy. We get to catch up on her children’s comings and goings ,what’s hot ,what’s not for kids, an...

He prances out of his bed at 4:30 AM daily, ready to jingle-jangle and explore the world. He loves to mix it up with Sake (my 13 year old Chow-Shepherd Mix) It’s so wonderful how much joy a puppy brings to a home.

My kitchen is filled with Temp-tations items. Here’s a photo from earlier this week with some delicious pound cake on my counter. From the oven to the table, I love that I’m able to cook and serve dishes in one great piece. It makes entertaining so much simpler and my guests are always so impressed!

Makes me wonder, who are "they" anyway? I love everything about summertime: the weather, the sun, BBQs, and getting to slow down a bit and enjoy family and friends.
I really don't have big plans for the summer, I'm going to live through Mom...she's going on a bus tour at the end of June, starting in Denver, to see a lot of great historical sites. And now she told me she thinks she might go to Nova Scotia! She's amazing.
So in Temp-tations news, we have an ad... Continue Reading
