For Today....

I am "working from home" as my boss is in Bosnia (!!) on vacation this week.  I have a longer post planned for later today but saw this "meme" type post on a few other blogs I read (Chez Larsson and Ali Edwards who came across The Simple Woman's Daybook through Apple Likes Orange)  and thought it would be a good way to inspire me to get writing and be creative today....  Am going to try to remember to revisit this post every once in a while....

For today, June 25, 2009...

Outside my window... Grey skies and grass that desperately needs a haircut... but with rain 22 out of June's 25 days it's hard to get to it...

I am thinking... about all of the busy weeks ahead of us for the next two months...

I am thankful for... my family (and my Keurig coffee pot)

From the kitchen...  leftover homemade pepperoni and anchovie pizza for lunch

I am wearing...  yoga pants and a t-shirt in hopes it will inspire me to pop in an excercise video

I am creating... lists in my head of all the things I hope to get done today while LP is at day care and I'm "working" from home...

I am going... to walk away from Facebook and spend some time reacquainting myself with my sewing machine...

I am reading... Baby sign language books

I am hoping... for some sunshine

I am hearing... a snoring dachshund in an otherwise quiet house...

Around the house... evidence in every room that a baby rules the roost...

One of my favorite things...  my Marshmallow Fluff coffee cup.

A few plans for the rest of the week...  work on some special baby shower gifts, hemming some pants for myself, and three birthday parties to attend this weekend...

Here is picture I am sharing... taken by a friend at a birthday party we went to a few weeks ago- a photo of all three of us!

What Winter Looks Like...

(Welcome to anyone arriving here from Blue Zebra Photography !) (Oh!  And this is post # 500 on Ye Olde Blogge.  Wow!) I mentioned earlier that I'm participating in two different photography projects this year with other members of the Bloom Forum .   The second project I'm participating in are monthly photos that relate to a certain theme or word. For January, the theme is "Winter." We've had an odd winter so far here in Massachusetts.  Hardly any snow at all and over the weekend it was actually in the 50's which is pretty unusual.  We did have a brief snowstorm last week though and while LP and Eliza were cozied up on the couch together I wandered around and took a few photos of the scene.  I love how cozy it is in our house when it's snowy out and wanted to capture some images that conveyed that...

February: What Shadow Looks Like

  (Welcome if you’re coming from Suzanne O'Brien Studio in Northern California!) This month’s group photography theme was “shadow.”  I’ll admit, I had a bit of a hard time with this one.  We’re in the middle of the February doldrums around these parts, and while the sun does shine from time to time it’s cold and blustery and damp most days.  It was tough to get motivated and creative about this, but that’s the whole point of the challenge! The kids and I were in the living room one afternoon and LP was lining his toys up on the windowsill.  The (frigid) afternoon sun was pouring in and I realized that there was a sort of lightbox effect.   I enlisted LP’s help in photographing some of his favorite toys (and one of Eliza’s) so he was the “stylist” for this little photo shoot.  I think if we ever have a dedicated play room I might frame some of these photos for the walls!

March: What Home Looks Like

(Welcome if you've arrived here from Laurie Schultz's blog !)  Over the years the definition of Home for me has changed.  Growing up it was, of course, the house I lived in with my parents and my brothers.   Even after college when I moved to another state “home” was still back in that house.   Although my apartments were homey and some of my roommates became like family to me, Home was always back in my hometown in the house I grew up in. Even after moving in with Paul, getting married, and buying our own house, a small part of me still felt like home was back in Pennsylvania.  We were creating our own newlywed version of home but I always referred to going to my parents’ house as “going home.”  This has changed since having children though.  Now home is here- where my heart is, figuratively and literally.  It’s wonderful and exhausting and messy and crazy- usually all at once.  And I wouldn't change any of it.  Now, home is where my hubby takes care of thin
