more photography.
As I mentioned in create: an update on 2016, I took a bit of a break from photography after spring break. When the girls went back-to-school, I picked up my camera once again. While my photos have been better these past two weeks than over the past couple of months, I’m struggling to find things

photo friday: brooklyn apartment
When Camille and I made a quick decision to head to NYC in June to see “Hadestown”, I began to search for a place to stay. The previous VRBO we stayed in was not available (I texted the owner directly …), so I looked for another in Brooklyn. Only a couple fit my intersection of

Today is National Raspberry Tart Day. Again up early to get things done and work and walk the dog. Mid-morning, I met Lori for lunch at Green Ginger; we stayed for a long time, then I did a couple of things at home before it was time to leave to get Chloe from school to

A while back, I read an article about hiring a career coach. While I’m not in the market for a new career at the moment, the day may come that I need some help, and I’d like to be ready when it does. The article, a bit short on useful information, wasn’t what really stuck

I’ve been here before. I continue to search for the answer. Meal planning. I have a feeling that one day I will find the solution. We’ve gone through e-Mealz. Far too much processed food for us. I’ve tried Hello Fresh. Ingredients to my door – but I still had to make daily trips to the

college search: local schools
Back in February, Camille and I took a trip up to North and South Carolina to tour four colleges. When we returned to Decatur, we took one more official tour over the break. Though Agnes Scott College is a little too close to home (5 blocks away and across the street from Camille’s high school),

Today is National Lighthouse Day and National Raspberries in Cream Day. I got up early to take care of all the chores and projects. We finally left by 10, but got to the High too early (doesn’t open until noon). We enjoyed the plaza, then drove to Dr. Bombay’s. All of the tables were reserved,

to thine ownself be true.
Rings. I like the idea of rings. My wedding ring has been a tight squeeze to get over my knuckle since I was pregnant, so I’ve been going without rings for years now. But last year while we were in Galway, I let the girls pick out Claddagh rings. And I found a thumb ring

learning: guitar
At last! I’ve been wanted to learn to play the guitar since forever. But life happened. And I put it off and put it off. Part of my Happiness Project has been to make time for myself in order to pursue (all) the things that I’ve been putting off for so long. Unfortunately, I get
