If you celebrate Mother's Day, I hope you had a great one. I always enjoy going over my mom's house to see my parents and siblings and to catch up on life. A lot of times, the siblings and I like to talk and debate about politics and entertainment, and at times things can get... Continue Reading →

Earlier this year I stumbled upon this music from Ryan Taubert and found it difficult to stop listening to it. I've been trying to write a fantasy novel about a type of fairy going extinct and this song playing in the background helped moved the story along. This song also got me hooked on Assassin's...

It's New Year's Eve and I'll be celebrating the new year with my kids and husband. We will be toasting to the new year with bubbly grape juice and making a goal list. Earlier today, the family took some photos. Our last photos of the year! I had my 10-year-old take photos of me and... Continue Reading →
I was looking through my photos for a sunrise photo and couldn't find too many. The last sunrise photos taken was last September when my family and I went to Maroon Bells. Guess this means it's time to get out there early and capture some early morning gorgeousness. I created this layout as an example... Continue Reading →
I got a Holga from my secret santa (my sister) and was the happiest person on earth. I've been wanting one for a very long time. It is a very light plastic camera. I think even lighter than the 110 camera I used to have back in the 80's. Holga's are supposed to produce dreamy... Continue Reading →
I have a love for dreamy balearic music along the lines of progressive house and dream trance. I’m not so much into the hardcore techno stuff, unless I’m at a night club...which I haven’t been to for a very long time, because it’s not something I could relax to. Dream trance is what it sounds... Continue Reading →
When Kida asked to switch from tap dancing to lyrical and then asked for lyrical socks, I had no idea they would look like little boy undies. When the front desk lady held the socks out for husband and I to look at, we couldn't help but laugh. The lady laughed with us. She understood... Continue Reading →
My daughter just started the Children's Christmas Choir this year (she skipped last year's) and they will be singing "Silent Night" again. We were talking about how she could eventually play her violin during Christmas mass in the future and I told her I'd find an example of "Silent Night" on youtube for her to... Continue Reading →
