Shots on Sunday
Just a couple snaps on a winter day. Stay warm out there!!
photo a day : 1 of 52
I go in and out of photo challenges, but this year I have decided to participate in the Fat Mum Slim Photo a Day challenge - Chantelle provides prompts and we are to go out and photograph something that fits. If I complete the challenge, that will be another 365 for me! Let's hope I can do it! I will post daily on Instagram and Facebook and weekly here on the blog.
Week 1 : lunch, begins with G, my town, word to live by
welcome 2014
I don't know about you, but 2013 seemed to just fly by... so fast! I am hoping 2014 has great things ahead in all aspects of life! I don't like to make resolutions - mostly because I know I'd never keep them - but I may set a few goals for the coming year. Why not, right!?! So here's to 2014:
- photograph more
- spend less
- move more
- stress less
- travel more
- boss less
I will try to remember to post at the end of the year to see how I did on each of these ... wish me luck!
Cold morning
sunday shopping
Shopping with Sloane is a hoot! She dances through the aisles, tries on shoes that are way too big for her and kicks them off in all directions as she continues bare foot through the store. She commands everyone's attention everywhere she goes - I mean come on, she is damn cute and almost always smiling. We wandered through Anthropologie and Sloane made herself at home, exploring every inch - window displays and all. I spotted this little wooden ledge and had her sit down. She cooperated for about 1 minute and then done. Got an adorable shot of her though. Wandered over to the Christkindlemarket (with about a zillion other people who had the same idea) and picked up a couple of adorable little Christmas decorations. I haven't gone to the market in years, glad I did. But... next year I will not go the Sunday before Christmas. *wink*
holiday breakfast
Up early to catch breakfast at the Walnut Room in Macy's with the Pittmans. We have made this a little holiday tradition and all look forward to it each year. We had a great time despite the horrible food and the repeat of the tree decor. We may have to look elsewhere for future years ... 
charlie brown christmas
Have I told you I am a huge Peanuts fan? Well, I am. When I was a kid they would have these 30 minute animated specials that would come on primetime TV - well before cable - and I would sit mesmerized. When VCRs came out, my dad recorded each and every one of those specials taking the extra time to remove commercials and everything. I would come home and watch them after school over and over.
In keeping with that them, my favorite animated holiday classics is A Charlie Brown Christmas. I look forward to seeing it every single year! I was so happy to catch it this past week! And then I found this gem - flash mob Peanuts style!
10 on 10 { dec 2013 }
I wasn't able to do the 10 on 10 challenge on the tenth, so I thought I'd do it today. Why not, right? The theme for this month is candy canes, and since I was feeling very much in the holiday spirit, I decided to let that inspire my shots for the day! Oh Rebekah is doing a giveaway this month of a beautiful album (love it so much I bought it!) by her friend Sarah. Take a listen!
