east office

Sunny days puts everyone in such a better mood.

Loving the weather that we've been having as of late, it even makes the commute into work a little better as well.

It may be a little odd, but from Monday to Friday - this is where I spend most of my day. This is where I work. My office is an upstairs bedroom that gets a significant amount of daylight. Much different from the offices out West, bu it's definitely a cozy environment.

A week since my last post? Definitely not like me.

If it was up to me, I could (would) spend most of my days blogging, documenting.

Not much going on in our little world.

Ryan and I bought a few Billy bookcases from Ikea today. We've got a cute little room when you enter our home, with a bay window - which let's in a ton of natural night. Hoping to be able to fill up the shelves rather quickly, then get some photos on the wall - maybe a comfy chair of some sort and call it a day. Ryan gave me some tough love today. Stating that our home is my own fresh canvas, it's time to put in our personal touches. I expressed that I was semi-scared to hang anything on the wall, paint anything a different colour, but enough of all that ... time to make this house, our home.

This guy will be THREE in June - 3.

My goodness, does time fly ...

second look: I resolute not to make resolutions!

On January 1st, I posted the following on my tumblr -
& since then, I kind of forgot about them ... It's time for a second look.

Let’s just start changing the way we live our lives:

To be simplistic: stop cluttering & start being a minimalist - do we really need those things?

To document life: doesn’t matter through what medium, but I’ve always been obsessed with capturing the moment or else, they kind of just pass you by.

To take (calculated) risks: you never know what’s out there waiting for you, if you’re not willing to see it through.

To pay it forward: how amazing does it feel to be short $0.20 for a cup of coffee and have the person behind you spare it for you or to be walking to a parking meter to buy a ticket for you dash and have a person had you theirs because they’re done with it …

To save $$$: I’m always one for splurging don’t get me wrong - cause we work hard for our money! But there are always ways to make this hard earn cash stretch.

To let my creative juices flow: ohhappyday, est. let’s get this show started!

2011, you’re already looking to be a good one.

Instead of these being resolutions, I think they can be themes for the year. I have to find a lovely home for these words to live, so that I can be reminded of the kind of life I want to be living ...

I'm back!

After much of a hiatus,
& spending countless hours religiously updating tumblr -
I've come to realize that it doesn't seem to satisfy my need to document life.
I will however, continue to use it for capture things that inspire me.

But for now, (at least) - I'm back on this blog.
Telling our story, the best way I know how.

Hello, again.
