Office Artwork

          I was honored to have Grits & Moxie (definitely check out her amazing blog if you haven't already!)  host my first ever guest post!  But for those of you who missed it, I wanted to share it with everyone!  
          When we were talking about possible topics, she mentioned things that inspired me, and I started thinking about what has always brought out my creative side, things like color, food, or a variety of sparkly items.  But then I realized I've always been fascinated with the documentation of daily life.  Before my blog, I either had a journal or a list of my adventures that happened each day and I was always very specific.  But now with a camera at hand, I document much more of my life through photographs.  It's truly the everyday adventure that inspires me.  Whether I'm visiting a new exhibit at a local museum, trying a new recipe or doing a monotonous task at the office, like peeling return labels off envelopes, I try to make it more interesting for myself and for my readers.  Playing with 300 yellow return labels, can make any day a little more fun, when you find something to do with them.

All Things Yellow

        This Friday marked the beginning of our weekly (or biweekly) "family dinners"!  It's a time when we can all get together as a group of friends, 8 of us this week, and sit down to watch a documentary, talk about the week, and eat a home-cooked meal.  It also gives me a chance to try to new recipes and see how they turn out!  With everyone pitching in, whether its bringing something to share, helping me cook, doing the dishes, or taking out the trash, it becomes an event that we all can take part in and enjoy.  Vlad surprised me with flowers too, which were so beautiful!  Different flowers, but all such a vibrant yellow, they looked amazing in my green and yellow kitchen!  It started off a perfect weekend, which will hopefully be followed by many other perfect weekends in the upcoming fall!
