Hi
Thank you so much for asking first! That is kind. Yes, you may use the photo in your PowerPoint. Good luck with your assignment! (P.S. I tried to email you but it would not go through with your address.)

Shopping
"Hmmm. What should we have for supper tonight?" "I always ignore broccoli when Mama puts it on my plate. Maybe I should skip the veggie section and go right to where they keep the cheese." "I have no idea what this is, but it is shiny and pretty. I'll take it!" These phot...
Hello. The cookie cutter can be found on Etsy from LeCuisinier and is called Kawaii Cat Cookie cutter. Thanks for your lovely blog!

Spring Snow
Ohhhhhh, it was wonderful. It's always like a dream. Just when I thought our chances for snow were gone for the season, we had a few of the most beautiful days I've ever seen. The first day, it had been lightly snowing without sticking most of ...
Thanks, Deborah! Kind of you to send a message. Happy shutterbugging!

Frozen Soap Bubbles
The night before the Big Freeze (polar vortex), a friend sent me a link to pictures of frozen soap bubbles. They were gorgeous and soon the idea spread across Facebook. Eli and I were eager to try it! Yesterday morning it was a mere 9 degrees, yet we had no luck. The bubbles behaved pretty m...
Even if it has to be from afar, I love watching them grow!

2nd & 4th Grade
We are two weeks into our 2016-2017 school year and I am still shaking my head that Amara is a 4th year and Havana a 2nd year. This life, this tricky, illusionary life, sure has my head spinning. Was it not yesterday that Amara started preschool at Children's Montessori House of Pinole...
Adorable!

Road Trippin
We are officially on the road. We have set off on our 14 day journey in honor of Don's milestone 60th birthday. For years, I have heard tales of the Coughlin family trip to Yellowstone. Don's retelling of seeing Old Faithful, a bear being stuck under their tent and other lasting memories inspi...
Hi, Helen. Thanks for you kind words! This is Rodeo Beach just north of the Golden Gate Bridge. It is just below the Marine Mammal Center and their website can help with an address and directions. http://www.marinemammalcenter.org This was our favorite beach when we lived in the Bay Area. Hope you enjoy it too!

Weekday Beach
While zipping around town on errands, we often see the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance with the smooth blue line of Pacific Ocean visible beyond. But even though we see the ocean all the time, it takes almost an hour to reach it. With the inevitable preparations involved for a beach tri...
Thanks, Lisa!

Gramps and Nana
My parents were lovely, warm people. Watching them die was awful, but being without them has been a whole other challenge. I was in my early twenties when I said goodbye, so there have been thousands of changes they never saw unfold and thousands of journeys big and small that they never sha...
Norma, thank you so much. I love hearing that.

Sidekick
Not long ago I was heading into my home office, eager to settle in to work after dropping my son off at school. As I walked past Eli's bedroom, something white in the window caught my eye. It was his sidekick, Pat the Bunny. This is what flashed through my head... ...
Cheryl, you are so welcome! Thanks for taking the time to post a comment.

September Apples
September is like clicking up that first big hill of a roller coaster. Anticipation. It isn't autumn full yet, but it is the slow and sweet beginning. All the lovely things about autumn are soon to come. On the first day of September, I celebrate the first touch of autumn by pulling out famil...
Calm and lovely. Here is an evening at the beach as night falls...

. . . . . . . . . {this moment} ~ A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find...
