Moving.  I never remembered it being this much work {and I am not a pack rat by any means}.
This week, I will be out of touch here while I finish off at one house and set-up at a new location that will become our home.  New adventures coming, new memories to be created, new friends...

I cannot believe I’m home.  When you go away to a photography workshop like this, you must jump in and immerse yourself.  That I did!  So much so that I still don’t quite feel home.  My mind is swimming with all the golden nuggets of information I took in.  I am so blessed to have...

All calls & emails will be returned on Tuesday the 23rd {unless I have some down time at...

I finally opened up the box which contained the camera I have gushed over all year long!  I’ve had it in the original packaging for over 6 weeks, but was just too busy to joyfully open.  So…I…waited.

On a personal note… all I want to do is complain.  Complain about the amount of work I have {this is why my blog has been neglected}, complain about all that needs to get done for the holidays, complain about my ever growing dirty house, complain that I have no down time.  How depressing is...

Be back in 2 days…I am privileged to chaperone my daughter’s 5th grade overnight trip to the Aquarium.  I just hope we don’t have to sleep by the shark tank…the sea lions are more up my alley!
Unfortunately, there will be no Starbucks stopping or any of these…

I’m really loving everything vintage right now.  I know, you probably think ‘oh, it’s just a phase’, but I have always admired timeless treasures.  It’s my family that doesn’t want a house full of them….with the exception of anything with wheels.
Check out my hubby’s love of vintage…and my occasional new prop!

Okay, so what kind of sick mom blogs about her son’s pain?  Yeah, uh-huh, that would be me.
This is what happens when riding a skateboard and you don’t see a random pipe sticking out into the street.  Wowzers!  Three hours in the ER, two painkillers, and one leg brace later…

After going on a few short trips, I have now been working on the computer a bit more than usual to catch up.  My darling daughter wanted some time with me, so instead of whining {she’s very wise}, so plopped down on my lap and came into my world.  She taught me something on my...
