Let’s face it: life can get mundane sometimes. When forced to deal on a daily basis with diapers, work, feeding a family, teacher conferences, soccer practice, homework, bill-paying and… oh yeah, maybe a shower and the brushing of teeth… it can be nice to let a little color in to cheer us up when things start feeling a bit too much like a hamster wheel.
