{everything melted}

everything melted,
rained, unraveled,
became, grew wings, attempted flight,
flopped, tried again, succeeded.
just another day {monique duval}

once a day she tells the spin to sit still,

the twirl to behave, the laugh to whisper,
the dream to sleep. and for a moment she
was unwhirled, whispered and dreamless.....
{monique duval}

{who's that girl}

{inspiration}

inspiration.....it's all around us. jen wrote about finding inspiration last week and i thought i would continue that theme here with a fabulous catalog that is my new obsession these days. the photography in this catalog is nothing short of stunning and refreshing and inspiring. we do find inspiration all around us even in the mail!

{earth hour}

what are you doing tonight?!!28 march? at 8:30 pm your time? well if you are like millions and millions of other folks, you will turn your lights off for one hour and celebrate earth hour!! there are no rules to earth hour - just turn your lights off for one hour and spend the time with your family, your pet, yourself. unplug and unwind. go for a walk in the dark, have dinner by candlelight, play a game, read a book, take a bath by candlelight - the list goes on. the goal is to reduce carbon emissions, it's your vote against global warming. and if you feel like recording it - come back and share your photos of what you did during "earth hour" with me. sounds like fun!! flick that switch!!

{mr. man}

okay, seriously.... drool, smiles, an occasional gleeful outburst, you know that breathing sound that babies make,their delicious heads....heaven. and here is shea....mr. man himself. finally, i was able to photograph this little guy. it all started when he was just a bump in his moms tummy and our schedules always clashed so we couldn't get that photograph and his newborn days were a little rough for mom but today the clouds parted, the angels sang, and i got to photograph this darling. i'll take that drool any day of the week. thank you rebecca for having me over - it was great fun to laugh with you and i can't wait to do it again. you're a wonderful mom - i hope you know that. and i hope you like what you see!!!
