FOCUS: My life through the lens

The simple things in my life that remind me of just how precious the world around me is...


Weekday morning chit chat and coffee with a friend.

Quiet moments of creativity.

My neighbor is having some work done around her home, the wonderful team of contractors took a few minutes from their workday and allowed my little guy to "play" on some of their machinery. He loved his "new toy".

Fresh Flowers

Time at the park

New towels and lemon meringue scented lotion

Hula hooping

Share the moments that made your week special. I would love to hear about them.

Simple and Sweet Spring Table Settings

Spring is in the air and today is a celebration of rebirth and renewal. The beauty of the season can be captured with a minimalist approach to the table setting, keeping it simple. Here are a few last minute ideas for decorating your table.

Flowers, whether in a bunch or single stem, these are always a springtime favorite. Simply elegant.

White dinnerware with green accents, an absolute favorite of mine, and these elements can be found in your back yard. Simple and natural.

Fruit, a perfect way to add some last minute color to your table. Bright, bold...simple.

You might not think of balloons for your table setting, but this is a unique an interesting idea. Light, bright, and simply airy.

Spring gits for family and friends can be used for centerpieces and then given away afterward.
