In some ways I cannot believe it has been exactly one year since I launched Living Large in Our Little House!
In other ways, it seems like a lifetime ago. Life is like that, I guess.
Green Interior Design at Our Little House
Green Interior Design, Due out November 2010
Today, for a guest post, we have Lori Dennis, author of the upcoming book, “Green Interior Design.” Lori’s publisher, Allworth Press, has generously offered to give away one book before the book even hits the shelves this fall! If you win a book on Living Large this week, you will have to wait until the end of October for your prize, but the wait will definitely be worth it! Read Lori’s interview and simply make a comment on this post between now and Tuesday August 24 at 5 p.m. CST. I will draw one lucky winner and announce the winner on Wednesday, August 25. You will have until Thursday, August 26 to send me your name and snail mail address. Good luck!
The Catalogs Keep Coming
It’s that time of year again at Our Little House. I’m not talking about the time to have the wood burning stove checked or wrapping up the garden.
It’s that time of year when direct mail catalog companies start mailing out all of those fall catalog, hoping you will want to start planning all of those gifts you’re going to buy for the holidays.
They started arriving about a month ago.

Finding Balance.
This summer will be remembered for a lot at Our Little House, but the central theme seems to be about finding balance:
In my work, home chores, decluttering, gardening, volunteering and even in my reading.
In the wake of losing Emma, it has also become about finding a balance once again for our two large dogs, Sade and Chloe. In my post a few weeks ago, I asked why children today are bored? There was a good discussion as to why parents might be wary of letting children out to roam and play…it’s a big scary world.
I might now apply that to why my two big dogs are bored.
