I’d like to wish you a Happy New Year. It’s a bit late, but better late than never. And what better way to begin the new year than with a new notebook or two. Am I right? In September, I was approached by Alma of Central Crafts to see if I’d be interested reviewing some…
Have you ever created a vision board? Filled a cork board, canvas or a piece of paper with words, photographs and images that inspire you? I needed some inspiration and it needed to be close by. Something to spark motivation every time I saw it. The dashboard pocket in my Midori traveler’s notebook was a…
Can you encapsulate your life in a short ten word story? OK. Maybe not your whole life, but a portion of it. Perhaps a special event or the season you’re in right now? In an attempt to find more ways to use my growing collection of travelers notebooks, I stumbled upon Hope Wallace and her…
Well? Are you going to throw that for me?? Hello there =) At the end of May, I house/dog sat for my mom. Meet Libby =) A two and a half year old Lab/Shepard mix. We had a nightly routine of roaming through the yard, running circles around the pool and playing fetch. It was…
White dandelion, puff balls, wish makers. Whatever you call them, they’ve been delighting children forever. Whisking their wishes off with the breeze to a faraway land that will hopefully grant them. Or the neighbors yard. But still, you wished anyways. [Tweet “Make a wish and throw your cares into the wind.”] Strolling through my mom’s yard…
What better way to spend a day off than strolling around a local park then napping. And that’s precisely what I did this past Friday. On on of our first of many hot, humid days I meandered through Glen Falls park. Cursing myself for not remembering my super zoom lens (that’s my technical term for…
Hello there =) I stopped by the cemetery the other day to say hi to my grandma. I realized her flowers were desperately faded and made a note to buy new ones. You’re not allowed to plant live things in this cemetery so she has fabric flowers. They really look very lovely. Until they fade….
Another beauty from my mom’s glorious gardens and pretty pottings. Gerbera daisies are her favorite and I don’t mind them either =) Simple & colorful; like a little sunshine on the ground.
Don’t worry, they weren’t cooped up for too long. These panda cories have since made themselves at home in my freshwater tank. More pictures to come =)
Painting the roses red We’re painting the roses red Don’t tell the Queen what you have seen Or say that’s what we said But we’re painting the roses red Yes, painting the roses red Not pink Not green Not aquamarine We’re painting the roses red! Our rose bush has produced a few off-white with a…
Hello there =) This is my niece Madison Jean, a rolly little eight month old who is no stranger to photo shoots in every outfit she wears with mom’s iPhone. While she loves to snag mom’s phone (and put it in her mouth), this little darling has learned to turn away when mom’s trying to…
Hello there =) Our yard has always been frequented by a bunny or two. They’d never stay long or get too comfortable because they knew the second that door opened a large, brown beast full of teeth was on their tails. Sadly, we had to let our bunny chasing friend go just before winter hit…
