Maintaining productivity amidst chaos. Is it possible?
I’ve had a lot on my mind this week. Kids, work, husband, friends, laundry, summer – it’s all muddled together in my mind. I literally have a color coded calendar system that I use religiously to keep all the areas of my life organized and yet, lately, it’s become harder and harder to do. My productivity […]

My husband is a rockstar. And I’ll forever be his groupie.
Lover Boy never ceases to impress me. And challenge me. His determination is motivating. I think I’d sit and watch HULU during almost all my down time if it weren’t for him asking if I wanted to go for a run or a bike ride, etc. While I will likely never run a marathon (he […]

Coffee date.
It’s not easy prioritizing individual time with each kid. Sometimes, a quick Starbucks run is all we can fit into our schedules. But even in those short 20 minutes or so, my kids open up, sharing their heart with me. And that is always worthwhile. She’s in fifth grade now. In half a year, she’ll […]

When are you most creative?
It’s 6:00 in the morning – on a Sunday. The rest of my family is still asleep. It’s quiet and free from distraction – a rare thing. This is the type of solitude I relish in because it’s probably my favorite time to write. Like most parents, I can multi-task a lot of things but […]

Perspective is everything.
I’m sure you’ve heard the old adage, “Is the glass half empty or half full?” A pessimistic person might look at the glass and say that it’s half empty. Their negative mindset causes them to see that which best fits their own perspective. An optimistic person might look at the same glass and say it’s […]

The view from here.
I wouldn’t say I’m a particularly contemplative person, but it’s hard not to be when you’re standing 14,115 feet above it all. It’s hard to breathe – both due to the thinner air and the staggering view. If ever I’ve felt small, it’s looking down from the summit of Pike’s Peak and realizing that I’m […]

So, we weathered a hurricane.
Florence wasn’t our first hurricane since we made North Carolina home seven and a half years ago. And like others before her, we survived unscathed. It’s heartbreaking to see others losing their homes and in some cases, their lives, while we only suffered some flickering power. We expect a lot more rain over the weekend […]

I need a vacation from my vacation.
Traveling with kids is never relaxing. Even when they’re confined to a cruise ship. But they had fun and I’m holding out hope that I will someday be able to relax on an adult only vacation… I did, however, enjoy a blissful couple of hours on an adult only beach while my kids were relishing […]

Nature is my new muse.
I have never photographed nature much, preferring people and architecture, but lately, I have been so inspired by it. I find myself taking more and more pictures of nature. I even began a new photography project photographing leaves. (I may have mentioned that already…) Here are some of my recent captures.

Therapy through photos.
I love that when there are no words to adequately express my feelings, there are pictures. Right now, life feels blurry and complex. I know I’ll survive it, but I wonder how long it will last.

Learning something new… Frustrating, isn’t it?
We learn the tools of our trade inside and out, which more often than not, translates into speed, efficiency, and accuracy. That’s why I’m so frustrated right now. Today, my rented Fujifilm X100F arrived via FedEx and I’ve really been looking forward to playing with it. Unfortunately for me, there’s a learning curve. Thankfully not […]
