Christmas Round 1

We were blessed this year to have three different Christmas celebrations which all were fun and special in their own ways. There really are few things sweeter than seeing your children filled with delight and overwhelmed with love. Here are a few shots of the special Christmas time we spent with Grammy and Grandpa Clark....oh how my little ones adore their grandparents!

Vera trying to figure out her new tea set

Grammy showing Judah how to use all the special parts

being a "rocketstar" as he likes to call it:)

As you can see it was a very sweet time together! Stay tuned for some other rounds of Christmas later this week.

I like this artist.

the peacekeepers

good luck charm

 



till death


I love when artists use layers of details, textures, drawings and paper. I also love when I look at someone's work and it immediately inspires me to create something and this Trish Grantham does just that....currently my mind is whirling with possible creations. What are things that always inspire you?

Blackberry Market

 

 

Blackberry Market....my new obsession.

 

Reasons:

adorable décor

delicious food and treats

Intelligencia coffee (the latte was seriously the best I have EVER had)

local everything

started by a husband and wife team that live in the area

awesome kid menu

super close to my house

 

 

 

If you live near Glen Ellyn and have not tried it out yet-get there. Get a latte to start.
 

tomorrow...

I hope I wake up to something like this...

just not this....

I mean I live in the Midwest for a reason.

Are you dreaming of snow like me?

just to keep you smiling

 

Really how can you not smile when you see that face?

Oh man do I love her!
