Camera Workout: Week 10
March 12, 2013 § Leave a Comment
We’re finally getting our upstairs furnished. Great new coffee table/tv stand from Rellek, moved the couch up there. Now all we need is a big tv…I once said we’d never have more than one television…but, I was….wrong.
Bagel is ready for spring…he’s stick of being cooped up inside.
How did it do this on Wednesday:
And then I got to open windows over the weekend:
Yeah so I went to Sassy Fox on Friday and bought some stuff..including a sassy chevron cardigan…also, totally saw Jennifer Lawrence’s mom in there consigning a ton of stuff! Amazing! Going back soon so I can maybe grab some of it!
Sunny triangles on cabinets
Had to say goodbye to this piece of Mom’s in the studio a few weeks ago…big thanks to Eva!
Investigating some constant ear flapping…I swear, it’s always something with this guy.
I cannot believe we are in double digits with weeks for this series! Phew! I’m still going, but phew I’ve got a long way to 52!
Camera Workout: Week 9

I do both of these things a lot lately…yoga, yoga, yoga, yoga.
I will never ever learn how to fold a fitted sheet.
This commercial makes me grab the camera and snap a quick pic as I’m passing through the living room.
My semi-gag gift to Andrew for his birthday…at $25 a bottle, it’s dang well worth a try! We had Andrew’s parents over for dinner on Friday and had a taste test. It would probably be ok if we hadn’t had it in comparison with this.
Trying to get ahead of the game by chopping up an entire cantaloupe for this week’s work lunches
Started this show over the weekend. Obsessed. So good.
Andrew’s pretty amazing birthday present from Kaylex…trying to decide what to have with dinner.
About to get down to business and do this blog post you’re reading right now. A reformatted computer that runs like lightning makes it a lot easier! Again, big thanks to Andrew for checking these things off the list his last week at home.
Camera Workout: Week 8

This junk drawer has been bothering me for weeks…finally put an end to the madness.
Poor Reuben got a bath…after a couple hours he finally forgave me.
Also cleaned out magazines…I’ve discovered that I’m kind of a magazine hoarder.
This is very true right now. Celebrated with giant sushi dinner out with the fam on Saturday…so many fun things happening for everyone right now.
Smoothie making…again.
I have a nasty habit of getting home from work and putting tennis shoes on to walk the dogs…without taking skinny jeans into account. I do not recommend this look.
Hope everyone out there is doing well..it’s almost March!??!?! WHA?!?!?

Last week at work I read aloud Black Dog by Levi Pinfold. Great little story and wonderful illustrations. Again, I feel so lucky to get paid to read, buy, and discover books like this every day.

Found these absolutely stunning photos via Colossal. But HELLO. So wonderful. French photographer Normann Szkop has captured some brilliant tulip fields in the Netherlands…along with some pretty amazing wind turbines.
There are over 100 photos in this series, found here.

The mudroom lives up to its name. Blech!
Repurposing 2012 calendar–new wall art for the kitchen!
Bananas that need to be cut up and frozen for smoothies asap.
This boy has a very, very strong attachment to the new couch.
Getting my upstairs painting corner organized
Our kitchen with night lighting :: YELLOW.
Not a very exciting week to start this series. Back from Asheville and off for an entire week, it was mostly us around the house relaxing.

most likely this might be my last instagram post. still can’t decide if I’m going to cancel my account or not. I think the whole advertising hub bub is merited, but mostly, I just think that its time has passed. Let’s be honest, when anything joins forces with Facebook, it’s all downhill from there. (Can you tell I’m not a fan of Facebook?)
Also, I’ll be honest. I’ve been a bit crabby lately. I have been sick on and off since starting my new job…IN AUGUST. I know that it’s simply that it’s my first year working in a school, but lordy, I’m getting real tired of this. Today is my first day off for winter break–I have until January 7th off and will enjoy every minute.

Awww….things have been really nice lately. Hope the laughs, good food, weather, fun, and dog love continues on through this fall season.
The Burning House
July 1, 2012 § 1 Comment
I found The Burning House last year, forgot about it, then stumbled back across it recently. Such a cool idea! It’s a tumblr that features submissions from people all over the world, photographing the items they would save if their house was burning.
Of course I had to make my own:
My list:
- teddy bear I gave to my Grandmother at age three–she returned it right before she died seven years ago
- framed origami heart out of The Beatles, “All You Need is Love.” sheet music. Purchased at street fair in Notting Hill
- Autographed, first edition copy of Jeffrey Eugenides’ novel, The Virgin Suicides. My favorite book.
- crab ashtray–once belonged to my Grandmother
- a Baywatch Barbie tumbler–beloved shared keepsake of my aunt Lis and I
- Frye Harness Boots — olive green
- yoga mat
- iPad
- whale paperweight –once belonged to my grandmother
- journal containing lists, ideas, drawings, and moments I don’t want to forget throughout the years
What would you save?
Happy Friday Y’all & a Happy Birthday to Tate! June 29, 2012

Happy Friday everyone. I had another great week. Graduated from yoga teacher training on Wednesday! It was definitely bittersweet. I’ll miss these ladies so very much. I can’t believe it! It flew by, but also seems like forever ago that I was writing this post.
Going to try and stay out of the heat today. Making a salad for July 4th party tomorrow, yoga, spin a little, and THEN I’m going to see THIS:
SO EXCITED! I wish my girl Tate was here to see it with me. Today is her birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TATE! Hopefully see you soon in a couple weeks!
Us back in our younger years:
Ahhh….I loved that back deck:
Other stuff on the agenda? Hopefully finishing up season 2 of this and listening to this song on repeat.
