Wrapped in gold...

Janel + Caiden at the lake. Kinda makes me want another one.

More cute bearded men...

Meet Brooklyn photographer Kris Payne. Be jealous of his Death Star tattoo and his ability to drink a bottle of bourbon himself. Always a treat to have him around.
He's getting ready to drive off to Alaska where he'll be doing an artist residency within a very tiny town and giving northern light tours on the side when not snogging with eskimos (kidding) or photographing. He has a blog where he'll be documenting his new adventures. Sign up for the blog (I believe it's a pay what you feel like sort of thing) and be in on his stories of amazing travels and he'll mail you postcard or two. Who doesn't love getting mail that isn't a bill these days! Read more, become a patron of the arts, and enjoy his dreamy landscapes and portraits here:

Atom + Momma's boy...

Happy Mother's Day this weekend!

Somehow, no matter what he does to his face, he always looks like a hottie.

Time flies...

It's my baby boy's birthday today...three years old! I'm so thankful and blessed to have him in my life. Here he is in all his three year old glory...not listening and running away from me down our street!

Tacky: DIY inspiration board

I love how simple this little project is and the final result looks fab. Something I can produce in under an hour (which is attention span these days). Interior designer Bryn Alexandra shows how to make it happen. Great for photographers, designers, or even brides who want a dedicated place to pin down their wedding ideas.
Go here to see her project and check out her design blog:

People watching + Wandering

We had a few hours to ourselves this morning without The Boy, so we decided to go for a walk around town. We loved the old, vacant library...so mysterious.

Hello Bridgette Bardot bangs...

Going to Jaimie over at Creative Images today. She is the absolute BEST for color and she cuts a mean bang. Seriously, she gives a better cut and color than any trendy NYC stylist I've ever gone to and for like a 1/4 of the cost. And she is a total sweetheart. Saying bye bye to these "meh" bangs on the left. Besides, bangs cover up worry lines quite nicely.

Bloodsport for the Sunday New York Times...

I am happy to report that for all of us old schoolers that prefer an actual newspaper, there is finally a place to get the Sunday New York Times paper in Greenfield! Yay!
All of the places around here seem to only order two copies of it, so if you don't get up before 9:00, you're out of luck.
But now you can go and get a coffee along with a yummy blueberry muffin or olive oil crisp and pick one up at the Greenfield Coffee shop, located on the corner of Federal and Main.

Oh, vanity...

I like to place little clusters of flowers on either side of my vanity mirror. It makes me look better and I'd swear my coffee tastes extra good whenever I do.
