Why the name Pink and Green?
My college colors were Pink and Green (Sweet Briar College) and I'm raising two little girls (pink) and living a green lifestyle.
Favorite Green Action Taken: Switching to cloth napkins and installing tubular skylights with my husband in our kitchen and upstairs hallway ceilings – the natural light is fantastic.
Least Favorite Green Action Taken: Line drying laundry – the towels can be a bit crunchy but I tell myself I’m “exfoliating.” [Over-priced spa treatment for free!]
Still Working On: Giving up all non-toxic art materials and products and figuring out a “green” litter box solution for our indoor cat.

Answers to Questions I get ALL the time (FAQ):
Our awesome spotty rug in the playroom
Where did you get your playroom rug?
It's a pattern by the Olsen Twins' home collection rug line (yes, those Olsen Twins MaryKate and Ashley) I bought it online in 2006 and haven't been able to find one lately that I can give you a good link to.
Gypsy Rose Rug in my Art Studio
Where did you get your art studio rug?
It's the "Gypsy Rose" Pattern from Sundance (got it for my birthday in 2008) It's crazy and I love it! Here's a link !
Our art studio a.k.a Mommy's Playroom
What's your art studio like? Where do you craft?
I did a little guest post over at Craftaholics Anonymous with a tour of my awesome art studio - Mommy's Playroom (also known as what is supposed to be our formal living room). BTW, our "formal dining room" is the playroom!
How do you have time to craft?
The girls and I usually do something creative each day but it's not always planned out, it's usually spontaneous and I frequently neglect housework and chores in favor of playing with the girls and crafting! Life is short and so is childhood. I'd rather my girls have childhood memories of me playing with them than of me cleaning hardwood floors!
Rainbow Rice!
How do you make Rainbow Rice?
This post about our Rainbow Rice sensory box has the "recipe" I use!
