How does an entire week go by w/o blogging? Well....it just does. Work has been crazy busy - in a mostly good, but definitely chaotic, sort of way. I spent a couple of days in NYC this past week, and... Continue reading

these are the days.

I was at an off-site conference for 2 days last week, and then Ohio for a day & 1/2. I was scrambling to keep up with sleep & work & life. Life has ebbed & flowed over the past week,... Continue reading

ventage tuesday : five summer basics

I apparently did a major purge of summer clothing before I changed out my closet last fall (can I just say that I kind of hate that part about living in the Northeast? That changing our your closet is an... Continue reading

varying surface conditions.

This is one of those posts that will probably sound better in my head. Stress has been high. Wine has been over-poured. I've done that "losing my words" thing a bit too often. I took the above photo last week... Continue reading

Spring has arrived in VT in a blaze of glorious weather - and this weekend will be no exception. I've got a list of tasks to mark off of my list before I start a 3 week stint of travel.... Continue reading

ventage tuesday : we were late bloomers?

I'm posting this MUCH later than anticipated...but I am determined to participate in today's Ventage Tuesday. We like to call this year the "Ventage Year of Awesome." Today, we're bringing you the "Ventage Years of Awkward." I think it's fair... Continue reading

weekend wandering.

Just a quick post today - my computer gasped it's last few breaths this weekend, so I'm fumbling around on a new iMac. I feel a bit like I've never used a computer in my life. Oh! Trivia - the... Continue reading

I'm not sure that I can teach yet - just mastering it myself. :)

The smaller pockets are an inconsistent 2.9x4 - so I usually create a 4x6 canvas and drop 2 photos into it.

2013 PL : we were on a break.

Time marches on, and project life sat relatively untouched in my office. I was a bit paralyzed by the balance of "document the everyday!" and "is this really what you want to remember?" So, this weekend, I white-knuckled my way... Continue reading

ventage tuesday : on the regular.

It's true that we Ventage Girls are creatures of habit. Angie originally suggested "5 products that we use daily"...and that morphed a bit into "5 things we need/use daily." Habits? Maybe. These are the things that make up (most) of... Continue reading

what's on your...

The ever-inspiring Ali posted this meme earlier this week, and I thought it was pretty fabulous... vanity : uhm, don't have one, so I'll sub "dresser" - jewelry, a vase w/fabric flower, Sonoma Soap Lotion, and a plant perennial to-do... Continue reading

light & love...again.

The Ventage Girls have been a bit out of sorts lately. I'd say that we're all taking "spring break" from Ventage Tuesdays, but that would bring to mind images of fruity drinks & sandy beaches...or at least Starbucks runs &... Continue reading

walking the talk of who you are.

I headed across the lake today for lunch with my friend/cousin Angie, and a trip to Target (as a reminder: VT does not have a Target. For reals.) It feels indulgent to have a day of easy travel, a 3... Continue reading

when Becky came to visit.

Becky and I have been friends for a looooong time - but we rarely see each other. Seems to be a theme amongst the amazing women (& men) that I hold dear. Rarely seeing each other also means that she... Continue reading

the importance of being extraordinary.

I listened to The Importance of Beng Extraordinary over the course of a week on my morning commute to work. More than once, I found myself sitting in my car listening to just a few more minutes. Eckhart Tolle describes being extraordinary as "to be awake, aware, present." That pretty... Continue reading

These days are flying by at breakneck speed. I'm back at the gym several days per week, which eats up a big portion of my evening - leaving precious little time to blog. A few things on my mind... Happiness... Continue reading

when Grey's hit home.

I will confess that I am not a slave to watching Grey's on Thursday anymore. This past Thurs, I was skyping with Barb in my office...which is a bit unusual b/c I'll often skype with her on my laptop while... Continue reading
