Day 13

Day 13 ~ Art

I painted these walls in our small hallway a few years ago and I just adore them. To me, stuff like this is art.

An Escher that my brother gave me hangs above my kitchen sink and makes me smile when I have to stand there for hours doing dishes.

The collection I have put together over our sofa in the living room. A large portrait of our children walking at sunset in the autumn, a DIY photo letters plaque I made, a wood mounted version of Van Gogh's Almond Blossoms that I adore and received as a gift, and 2 small canvases that were painted by my Grandfather's brother of their house and their school house.

Day 12 ~ From a Low Angle

The majestic Slate - our gorgeous Great Dane, just waiting for his prize in the kitchen. Yes, he is very big!

Day 11

My children are taking swim lessons this summer and are having a ball! The entry to the pool is just so cool looking to me so I had to use it for my

Day 11 ~ Door

I also have to throw in some cute little pics of the kiddos swimming ;)

Both kids up and under the water 

My poor sweet Dylan did so good for being so terrified of the water!

Jade is a fish! She loves it so so much and does better swimming under the water than above. I also adore all these fun iPhone photography apps. I find this one particularly fun with my kids and their activities!

Days 8, 9, & 10

Sometimes children, projects, and just life in general get in the way of my blogging. So, because of that, today I am blogging a TON of things. I did manage to stay on track and actually take my pictures on the appropriate days...but blogging them as well seemed to just slip past me.

Day 8 ~ Six O'Clock

My Father's watch and a couple of my mother's rings. I get a little sentimental sometimes just looking at how they have things in their house. It's a good home and feels like home to many and that is the greatest joy to me. You know me and those 'little things' They are my favorite!

Day 9 ~ Your View Today

In my father's workshop

He's working on a kitchen

And I'm working on a drawer. I will have a full blog on this piece in the future...maybe 2, because it's a ridiculous story! But, the workshop was my view for 6 hours that day...

Day 10

As I've mentioned before, my mother is one of the greatest cooks ever!!! The best part of this weekend was the Sunday family lunch with them. It was amazing!

Day 7

Drink

Ahhh, chocolate whey protein...mid morning snack of champions. I thought about taking pictures of pretty glasses filled with lemonade or yummy coffee in a vintage mug, but the reality of it is I drink this stuff daily in an effort to be healthier...it's part of my life. I also love that you can see piles of laundry stacked up on my couch reflected in the lamp base - more reality ;)

Day 6

Today is a favorite of mine. I LOVE hats! I love wearing them myself, my daughter was made for hats or hats were made for her, and I just love the whole idea of another accessory. This one is special because my husband bought it when he was in Ireland. He never wears it because he's more of a baseball cap kind of guy, but he lets me wear it and I love this hat. I felt that it deserved more than one little picture.

Day 5

Today was appropriate for me. Before I even knew about the photo challenge I had made an appointment to come here. It was awesome that today the assignment was:

Sign

I love the letters and the colors in this sign. It's bold and fun!
