Aloha!

I’m happy to report that, after today, all four Hello Kitty collectors cups and spoons are accounted for. Today’s yogurt: chocolate milkshake with strawberries. Today’s stop: Honolulu. My work is complete. Thank you, Yogurtland. It’s been fun! As you can see, we’ve consumed more than our fair share of yogurt over the past few weeks….

Hidden

  “Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are hidden in the most unlikely places.” – Roald Dahl I saw this quote on twitter today and it reminded me of this super fun little find in my blueberries a few days ago. I keep looking at this photo because…

Thanks, Twitter!

Thanks to some useless trivia I discovered via twitter, I’ve dug up a couple of favorite photos in honor of World Cat Day! Many happy returns!

Two Down, Two to Go

I now have the second of four collector Hello Kitty spoons and bowls from my new favorite frozen yogurt place. Last time it was strawberry lemonade sorbet. This trip: red velvet cake batter. Nom baby nom. Can’t wait for trip number three.

A room with a view…

…and a run with a view. I’m in Madison, Wisconsin for training and I’m ready to move. Okay, a little dramatic, but I’m in love with this town. The above building is on the university campus and is outside my classroom window. And at the end of the day, I went for a run along…

Panda Slide

Pure awesomeness. And this is how Friday will come to a close. Courtesy of my mom.

Hey there, Bear!

Check it out! Country Bear Jamboree is ready for the Fourth! This is his second costume change this week. Unfortunately I missed taking a photo of the other costume. Apparently someone in the family has graduated because  country bear was wearing a graduation cap on my way to work this morning. Then he was channeling Uncle Sam…

Won’t you be my neighbor?

 I’ve been loving this Mr. Rogers autotune video since last week, but then I received this article from one of my favorite people at work: 15 reasons why Mr. Rogers is the best neighbor ever. Read here. Thank you for passing along, Don. You’re a pretty fabulous neighbor.

Pretty Little Things

The risk of me going for runs near our downtown can be summed up in the above photo. Too many distractions. Our home town is sweet, quaint and filled with photo opportunities. I was quite proud that I only stopped twice on my last long run. Above was during my warm up; below was during…

Happy Friday!

This took my breath away. (and yes, the baby turtle made me cry.) On that note…happy Friday, happy every day. video via momentmatters

No Binoculars Necessary

The internet is stunning. Seriously stunning. For all of its dark places and pitfalls, the internet can deliver so many gifts, a dizzying amount of information…even miracles. Check out the Hawk Cam from the New York Times. Here, you can watch redtail hawks Bobby and Rosie raise their young — on the 12th floor of a…

Hello there, bear

Country Bear Jamboree is ready for Easter. Love the colors, love the sentiment…not sure about the placement of Mr. Bunny’s head.

A Look Outside

Growing up, our house was plunked in the middle of several thickly wooded acres way out in the middle of nowhere. As an adult, I’m plunked in the suburbs with neighboring houses within view out of literally every window. Guess who has the better bird watching? Maybe it’s simply because I didn’t pay attention when…
