LydTheSBW

I am Lyd The SBW, a creative soul, a Texan living in Brooklyn and an Earl Grey enthusiast. I began dabbling in the stay-at-home-mom-of-two-in-Park-Slope-Brooklyn lifestyle years ago and fear I may be too deep into "The Life" to ever truly extricate myself. If there's a piece of paper at hand I will doodle on it, hence my latest designs that I put on stuff. I like making things with my hands--watercolor collages at the moment--and telling stories. I have an advice and humor blog-TheKettleIsOn.com and am a contributing blogger for ThePickaninnyPapers.com. I am currently rewriting my manuscript about a teenaged psychic trying to figure her life out somewhere in the great state of Texas.

Went down to the library to get the boys' library cards. Didn't realize I needed to bring their IDs 😑. But then we saw this lovely sunny puddle just steps away from the library doors and decided to take a walk and soak in this beautiful day.😎 (at Reykjavík, Iceland)

I'm a sucker for a mug with a rooster on it. This one is especially delightful. #PutARoosterOnIt #morningtea
