Sipping hot chocolate at sunset,

houses that resemble spaceships,

making a mess with art supplies,

eating fancy oatmeal with baked apples, golden raisins and fresh berries,

finding love notes alongside the road,

stopping in at cute little post offices,

and green smoothies (recipe here).

……………………

Then we covered her driveway with an old table cloth and played. She had all of these sheets of sticker paper that she never knew what to do with, so we... Continue reading

Art Evolution – From Girls to Owls & Portraits

And I just cannot get over all of the color inspiration. I’ve also been seeing so many owls (and hearing them too). One evening, we had a bonfire in... Continue reading

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’! -Audrey Hepburn ……… My first blog was titled Inspired By The Little Things… and it is a notion I am really returning to these days. I used to write weekly posts, sharing my inspirations. Lately, I’ve really been missing those, so I thought I’d bring them back. This week I’m sharing my inspirations from our recent...
