week 4 - we had a low key celebration for dre's 37th birthday. the girls and i surprised him with four small delicious cakes from a new bakery in town called "Nothing Bundt Cakes." red velvet for him. chocolate chip for nyna. white chocolate raspberry for me and anna. pecan praline up for grabs. so, so, good!
week 5 - i have to be honest. i have a slight obsession with calendars. planners, wall calendars, desk calendars...you name it, i want it. the stand-up calendar above was a target clearance find. this is a scene from my work desk and this little happy corner makes my space that much more enjoyable.

week 2 - this is one of my favorite sights to see but i sure do miss reading to my baby girl at night.
week 3 - this week was all about easing my body into being more active. after seven years of living in our community, i'm finally taking advantage of the awesome trail. it felt so good, and admittedly, a bit tiring, to get out early this morning.

First week of the new year is in the books and the girls will be heading back to school after a long holiday break. With that comes planning, structure and keeping track of the many things that go on. I love new calendars and planners just for that purpose.

The Simple Things. One photo. One memory.
I captured 1/2 year of short stories that made me happy.
I'm ready to do this again.

The Simple Things project is hosted by one of my favorite bloggers, Rebecca Cooper. This photo project is a great compliment to a 365 project or Project Life.
My Simple Things posts are under the category "The Sweet Life." Looking back at 2011 post can be found here.
week 32 - of all of the rooms in the house, it's Nyna's room that shiloh gravitates towards. i think he likes the bed next to window. a cozy sunny spot to rest.
week 33 - a new birthday garland and ten balloons for my ten year old girl. i love these birthday room surprises and the look on her face.

week 30 - a quick little snack after swim lessons. i'm actually partial to the peanut m&m's but the majority one out...so the plain it is.
week 31 - this little corner in the kitchen makes me smile everytime i look at it. three of my favorite books, one of which is a signed copy by Cindy Mushet gifted to me by a really good friend.

a new to me drink that is just as tasty as my normal choice and doesn't leave me feeling sluggish - Passion Tea Lemonade. for the next thirty (or so) days, I will be giving up coffee and soda. I drink quite a bit of both and have noticed that i'm either always tired or have a headache.
it's been two days and so far so good.

I'm so grateful when I come across people who understand patience and kindness when it comes to my Anna. This summer we were fortunate enough to have Cheryl as her swim instructor again. She knows that Anna needs a little more guidance and she's so wonderful at bringing her back to the task at hand. I love that people can touch our lives for such a short period of time and make such a huge impact.

My little brother is finally married!
These two have known each other more than 1/2 of their lives (since the 8th grade), survived long distance relationships and moved across country to build a life together. Patty has always had a special place in our family and I'm so happy that I can officially call her my sister.
We love you Gene and Patty. We can't wait to celebrate with you at the end of the month!
