Now that it has FINALLY warmed up here, it’s beginning to feel like spring. I really want to be outside, so I’m thinking of moving my office right out the door onto the front porch. I sure hope it’s nice where you are.
I just took portraits of my daughter this weekend, since she is graduating in just a few short weeks. We’re excited that she’s moving onto a new chapter in her life, but it does seem sad she’ll no longer be a high school student. She’s going to college nearby next year, and staying home, so that makes the transition a little easier for us.
We’re very close. I’m blessed to have a daughter, who at 18, really enjoys spending time with me. I was told she would pull away when she became a teenager, but it didn’t happen. We have remained close throughout the teenage years. I’m glad we get along, since she’ll be staying home while attending college, but enough about me, onto the scoop.


Becca’s home is a real treat to see… especially SPRING IN THE SITTING ROOM. Beautiful inspiration from Adventures in Decorating!
Beth at The First Year whipped up these awesome FRENCH TOAST MAPLE SAUSAGE MUFFINS. Don’t they look delicious?
This MASTER BEDROOM from Classic Casual Home looks like it came right out of a magazine! WOW, Mary Ann what a view!
Rachel at Maison De Pax is USING WAX TO GUILD A FRAME. How simple and stunning!
Now…I can’t wait to see what you’ve got!

Your daughter is beautiful! Congratulate her for me. My youngest will be graduating from college in just two more semesters. Where does the time go?
Like you, I would like to take my office outside. Alas, that will be impossible, so I will have to be happy with open windows.
Thanks for hosting such a great party!
Thanks for the party Anita and have a great week!

Glad to get the issue straightened out!
I found the glitch with no thumbnails or link button…it appears to be a Firefox issue. Explorer worked just fine…thanks for hosting!
