In the spirit of Mother’s Day, Garnier® Whole Blends™ continue to remind us of our unique beauty. When I was a new mom and overwhelmed, as most new moms are with the task of well, mothering and more specifically, the realization that “you mean I have to take care of it ALL THE TIME?” I...

Thank you! And yes, that plant is definitely my favorite. It's a bird of paradise houseplant.

photo by Momoko Fritz I want to thank Garnier® for inviting me to share my thoughts about what makes a picture perfect Mother’s Day. I recently wrote about (but have not yet posted–ha!) feeling beautiful as way to be present and how getting ready in the morning–make-up, hair, clothes–is a great way for me to be...
I love this post! As a first time new mom (to an 8 month old–how did that happen already?!) I was already thinking about motherhood when you were up there talking about the guitarplaying. Wham. You were waaay ahead of me.
I don't know how we'll spend my (FIRST!) mothersday this coming weekend. But I'm pretty pumped to just spend it together. I'd be doubly pumped if the weather cooperated and we could spend it outside. ReplyCancel
There is totally a word for that. When you learn anything, you go through four stages of competence:
1. unconscious incompetence – not being very good at something and not knowing that you aren't good
2. conscious incompetence – realizing how bad you are, making mistakes, learning a lot
3. conscious competence – being competent at something but having to give it a lot of thought/effort
4. unconscious competence – having mastered something to the point you don't really have to think about it
I think it's fascinating how we go from thinking we're AMAZING (because relative to just beginning the skill, we are) to realizing how far we still have to go to master something.
I'm spending mother's day showing my gratitude for my awesome mom and spending some time with her and my family. ReplyCancel

I'm spending my mother's day…working! My husband has to work, which means that I have to work! We haven't made any concrete plans around it, but I'm sure that he'll do something nice for me. 🙂 He always pulls through! ReplyCancel
I went to a Catholic school when I was growing up, and my 4th grade teacher Sister Catherine was my favorite teacher because she was so positive and helped me with my school work and taught me so much! She spent hours on her own time teaching me arithmetic and writing. She was such an inspiration to me!

This Mother's Day will be bittersweet for me, since this summer will be ten years since my dear mother passed away. I always miss her, but especially so on special days like her birthday and Mother's Day. I'll spend Mother's Day thinking of her and remembering all the fun we had.

my #SweepstakesEntry tweet:
I spent mother's day in Costa Rica with my inlaws.
Life isn’t always what you make it. Sometimes life happens, and you are thrown into a world of crisis parenting and trying to keep your head above the water. When my daughter, Sarah, was born three years ago with a rare genetic condition called Apert Syndrome, I certainly felt that way – that everything was...
I bought a bath tub last weekend. An old cast iron claw foot tub–in fact the rusty, green number you see above. The enamel is chipped around the edges a bit, the paint is all peeled around the outside. It’s exactly what I always dreamed of. We’re going to get it fixed up of course–professionally...
I think your plans are great and you're so right — black and white is timeless! I keep thinking about a new entryway light-something lantern style, but like you, just can't pull the trigger as the one we have is fine – not gorgeous – but fine. Maybe I'll get one for Christmas — must think about it for a while longer! Good luck with the renovation!ReplyCancel
Right? I dislike almost every single light fixture in our house and except for our dining room and the 3 pendants over the kitchen island, I can't pull the trigger on anything else! I mean a single light fixture could change the entire look of a room, but I feel stuck. Yes, lets shoot for Christmas. 🙂ReplyCancel
I totally get your feeling of not feeling like you're allowed to do something. I always feel like I'm not "cool" enough to wear certain trends or like certain shows, or decorate my house certain ways. It's definitely an insecurity thing. My husband thinks its crazy and says I should just do whatever I want…and I'm getting better about just doing it. ReplyCancel
Everyone has those recipes they get asked for time and time again…well believe it not, this kale salad is one of them. I know…. kale. But I swear on my Led Zeppelin III vinyl album cover that it’s really, really good. Also, it’s the type of recipe where you don’t really need to measure everything...
This is my second post in my health and workout series. As I stated last month I’m on the final countdown to the big 4-0 this year and am doing a series of posts focused on health and working out. This is not about weight loss or achieving a “bikini body.” After spending a year...

Carving out alone time. Even if it's just 20 min. And often I use that time for exercise,even if I don't really want to in the moment. Alone time & endorphins for the win!

I find that connecting to the outside world really helps me stay present. And I don't mean something major like going for a hike–just looking out the window and noticing a cloud formation, the birds in the yard, the quality of the light, or the flowers currently in bloom can help me become centered and feel more present in the moment.

I don't have kids but I do have to work at being present. As a nature photographer, I am always taking my camera places and sometimes I get lost in shooting rather than being. Sometimes, I leave my camera at home, no matter how hard that is. It forces me to be present and I need that.
