this spring i vow to…
try again at some old wishes
find a favorite spot & go there often
finish those almost finished books
buy nugget a kid camera and have a photo session together at the park
go on a real bike ride (more than 3 minutes & to not peddle as though in a horror movie when a bee comes along)
do something fantastically out of character with hubby
go on a picnic that lasts all afternoon & make an old fashioned movie from it.
what are your spring promises?

we are finally in the 50’s this week! (that’s degrees… !)
even though the sun isn’t really shining much and the skies are not happy-blue, i am loving the temperature.
i took nugget to the store yesterday and i didn’t have to wince when i stepped out of the car. i felt almost giddy at the fact that i was strolling into the store with him beside me instead of holding him and galloping like an injured horse. (in my defense, between him and my handbag is about 40 lbs. and in my defense again, i have to have my 3 important notebooks with me, what if my house burned down while i was away?)
i love this wishlist. as i’ve said before, i adore white and i adore flowers, so what better then this cute little nod to spring. i actually own the handbag (bought it last month) it is so pretty. the sort of handbag i doubt i’ll ever get rid of. the zipper moves like butter and the material is nice and soft.
today i feel like a bird whose little cage door has finally been opened. i’m gonna be flying around silly.
heads up!

i have so much to do today. all those little tasks that take up so much time (grocery, post office, laundry, cleaning, calling up people who charge me late fees for unfair reasons, pretending i have a butler).
but one thing i am proud of is that through out all of my busy-ness i have been staying committed to one of my loveliest goals, to learn piano. i tried the flute, i tried the guitar. but the piano is what i love. i think when an instrument is right for you, you just feel it that way.
i don’t have a lot of time to practice, but i’ve been practicing everyday.
if you are trying to reach a goal, my best advice is to spend at least 20 minutes a day at it. if you don’t have 20 minutes to work on an important goal, then you need to move stuff around in your schedule, cuz that’s not a good excuse.
something else i do to keep myself diligent?
i fast forward my life.
i say…. it’s ten years from now, what would be my biggest regret of something i didn’t do on my goal list? and the things i know i’d regret terribly are the things i work on the most. (it’s not only solo goals, it can even be spending more time with someone or giving more hugs and love yous!)
if you have something on your goal list that you’ve been wanting to do but just can’t get it together. then today is your day to make that commitment.
20 minutes a day… are you in?

i don’t know where this picture came from, due to my lack of memory skills.
and i can’t find this dress at any of my favorite shops. so i am a complete blank. why would i copy a picture and not note the address i found it, i am not sure.
maybe i ran to get nugget. yes, yes, i should definitely blame it on such a good excuse.
if you recognize this designer or the shop that sells it, i would love know!

a few pictures from the photo session yesterday.
i love photography! goodness. everytime i have a session i just want to shout that from the rooftops. but my neighbors would probably get mad. and i’d most likely fall off the roof.
have a wonderful weekend.

i took some photos yesterday & today.
just getting the wheels turning a little bit.
i only use natural light. i actually dislike the flash on my camera because it adds reddish tints to everything. but i wouldn’t use it even if i thought it did ok. natural light is my love for the camera. with the exception of my new holga, i hear she needs a flash, we’ll see.
i put on one of my new spring dresses and big hat, it felt so right. 
do i look a bit dazed? that’s not acting my dears. that’s real life duh-ness. i’m so sleepy these days. but i really love the way the sun beams are casting over me. have i mentioned how much i love the sun… (!)
the diana camera pictured is old and is missing the flash bulb, i bought it off of ebay a while ago (sold to me as is, unsure if it was usable but i loved the old look of her) i haven’t tried to use her yet. i know, so bad. holga came along and sorta made me forget about diana. oopsy.
today i have a photo session with a 4 week old, i am so excited!
happy friday. xo
