sugar-baby - photography of meg duerksen

Will you look at this little sugar snap, the amazing photography of this gal Meg over here.

Whatever she snaps, or makes seems to make my life as well as countless others a bit more sugar-coated.

"whatever...the shop, linked to whatever...the blog"

There are certain things in life that surely bring out the kid in me, as well as fond memories of making things and riding my bike to the store for licorice or a bar of chocolate (days before helmets and other unfathomable dangers!)  

the sweet stitched flower power shirt - worn by my daughter!

I learned to sew at a young age and loved it so much.  Meg makes thing too.  She made this fun flower shirt from (whatever "the shop") which I ordered for my daughter and she is constantly asking, "Where is that shirt" as she loves it so much.  I know that once the kids are back to school, Meg will be filling up her shop again and I will be like a kid in a candy store, looking for more sugar babies and sweetness.  

 Have a sweet weekend.  We are off to the beach!

eat dessert first

Meet Lecia and her lovely boys, husband Alexi, and boys Abbot and Cal.  If Lecia were here, I would take her to our local bakery with the motto, "Life is uncertain, eat dessert first"- because I think she lives 

each day as if it were a day that is dessert.  

Her days are spent creating and exploring her surroundings with her family which she shares with us on her blog, that she began in June 2008.  

Daily musings and lovely photographs, be it a stack of freshly folded laundry or an empty heart shaped bowl, these images remind one to seek happiness and contentment in the simple joys of life.  

This is a quick glimpse, an illustration that I drew for Lecia and her family

as they live a simply colorful life each day.

Here is the black and white line drawing for you to print out and color in.  (Click on image and print out) My hope is that Lecia and her sons (color) & continue to inspire us through their adventures as they savor the tiny moments, one bite at a time.  Thanks for making my day simply sweeter.  Lecia reminds me that even on the toughest days to look for joy.  Now that is what I call living a day that is dessert a well deserved day.  What makes your day sweeter?
