Here’s to new beginnings!

Happy New Year! I hope 2014 is off to a great start for you. I know I’m excited about the possibilities of a new year and I’m eager to start fresh. Like many of you stopping by, I have high hopes for changes and growth this year. High hopes, dreams, and of course a few […]

Focus on Life {Quiet Moments – New England}

Peaceful, quiet moments…that is this week’s Focus on Life challenge. Now that is indeed a challenge. In a house of 4 boys, quiet moments don’t happen very often. Well unless you count late at night when everyone is asleep. You’ll find me up then, but there are no interesting pictures to share when I’m in my […]

California Dreamin’

The end of summer is upon us (say it isn’t so!). I was faced with this unfortunate realization today when I was out shopping: pumpkin-themed kid’s shirts were on the racks, and I actually spotted a man buying fall decorations – a scarecrow. I believe summer deserves a proper send-off, so I spent some […]

Focus on Life {Beaches and Peaches}

Week 33 is here and the Focus on Life -52 Week photo challenge is all about what is In Season. “What’s in Season where you live? Fruits, vegetables, a certain kind of flower?

3 Reasons Why You May Need a Professional Headshot

Recently I decided to go for it and had professional headshots taken. What made me finally take the plunge, after so many years? Maybe to help prepare for my upcoming book. Maybe I was tired of scrambling around for a decent bio picture when needed. Another good reason was the blog redesign I am planning, […]

Focus on Life – Week 3 {take time}

This week the Focusing on Life challenge words are “take time”. How do we take time just for ourselves? I’m looking forward to seeing what others are doing to unwind, what they like to do when given a free moment. As for me, you see this picture of ceramic components below? You may be thinking […]

Adventuring into 2013

– Origami tops sent by one of my Uncles in Japan – Hello! Well here we are, a full week into the new year! With all that transpired in a week, I can hardly believe we were just ringing in the new year one week ago! It flew by with a nice visit […]

Beauty before the storm

As we prepare for the pre-Halloween weather monster, “Frankenstorm”, I took a few moments to savor the fall beauty in a few pictures I took on Friday. It was my son’s preschool field trip to the pumpkin patch, and the weather was warm and beautiful. There’s something about this particular field trip (this was […]
