I love having fresh flowers around, it always brightens up the house and tulips [...]

With Halloween coming up up next week, my neighborhood is decorated in full force! I on the other hand, did not decorate this year for Halloween at all (can you believe it!?). Since I am so behind this year, I thought it would be fun to share a few of my favorite ideas from around [...]
Fall at the Farmer’s Market

Texture in the Park…
Thursday afternoon, I decided to step away from our kitchen renovation. I drove to the local park to try and capture some photos for the P52 Challenge this week, shadows.
