My own little adventure

 

A few weeks ago I resolved to start riding my bike to work. Since then I’ve procrastinated, blaming the fact that I still haven’t found a decent helmet.  Well, one of our cars needs a little repair-so this week I finally had the impetus I needed.  I gave in and just bought a last-minute helmet from Target (which, I’m sure will NOT protect me if I should ever need it to), and this morning I was off to work with my helmet, bike and little backpack.  It’s been a very long time since I’ve ridden my bike, so this was my own little adventure.  I doubt if it will ever be my primary mode of transport, but I really enjoyed my short ride this morning and will continue to ride to work at least a couple of days per week.  Now…I just need to buy a seat cushion (ouch!)

Chandeliers & Wooden Tables

I love formal outdoor dining, I especially love the look of sturdy wooden tables and chandeliers. These are my two faves, aren’t they gorgeous?

Wheat Grass again

Just a note: my wheat grass turned out MUCH better (read: fuller) this time. Click here to see my last attempt.

Beverage Jar Envy

When I saw this beverage jar at my sister’s grad party, I was just a little bit jealous-especially since they’re no longer available at Costco. But then…..

I saw this one from Crate & Barrel and it was love at first site.

Real Parties: Backyard BBQ

Here are a couple of pictures from my sister’s graduation barbecue last weekend. Due to a family emergency on my husband’s side we missed most of the party, so I only have pics from before everything was set up, and a couple of detail pics from during the party.

Mapping

I’m a big advocate of educational decor for kids’ bedrooms, and I’m lovin’ the use of wall maps in these photos from flickr.
