Friends + Family

September 27th, 2012

Before you begin reading, it’s important that you know that this is a sponsored post. What’s even more important is that you know that when I do a sponsored post it’s because I love and believe in the company and the products they are offering. Also, it’s important for you to know that I respond to about a tenth (but less than that, really) of the emails sent to me from PR firms. So when I do respond, it’s good for me and it’s good for you. That’s enough with the important information for you guys to know. Except what’s below, of course.

Right now Lands’ End is having their annual Friends and Family event where they are offering 30% off AND free shipping to everyone. I was able to order the above items and I LOVE everything. (and it shipped SO quickly.) That sweater is one of the softest things I have ever felt in my life.

Anyway, I’m here to share the discount code with you guys, the event begins today and goes through October 2nd. oh! I wanted to let you know that the last two winters coat we’ve purchased for Anna and Noah have been from Lands’ End and they’ve both lasted for two years and are super warm. I can’t say enough good things about Lands’ End.

Here’s the code – Happy Shopping!

Unleash your happy

August 31st, 2011

My bright, intelligent and talented soul sister, Jennifer Helen came up with the concept of Triple W a few years ago. Triple W is a workshop for the working woman, a place to learn how to integrate work and life. She did what so many of only wish we could do. She built on that concept, her dream and now that dream is a reality. I attended last year’s workshop and within hour one, I sat in the chair, my body numb from what I was listening to, my life feeling changed for the better. As each hour passed, the feeling expanded, my head wanted to explode from what I was hearing. From the very basic ideas of what makes woman tick, how men and women are different, how to seek peace from the moment you wake in the morning until the moment you lay your head on your pillow at night, to listening to your creative side and how to transform your life into something less stressful, more beautiful, MORE YOU. (and once the workshop is over, it doesn’t leave you, you have take-aways and partners you work with once you’re back at home in the midst of appointments and diapers and getting ready for work.) The idea is brilliant. The workshop is absolutely life changing.

This year the workshop is taking place at Google in Chicago on September 16th and 17th. Right now, TWF is offering a discount of $100 that ends THIS FRIDAY, September 2nd. I promise you, you will only regret NOT attending. You (and your family, your spouse, your friends, your employers) will gain so much by attending this. I could not love this workshop more. You can find more information about the workshop here:

And if you’re going this year, tell me in the comments. I’d love to be one of your accountability partners for the following year. I will not be attending TWF this year because of my pregnancy status but I will be making my Life Transformation Plan, as I did last year. Last year at TWF, I announced to my accountability partner that “I am a photographer.” Which was a very difficult thing to say. I said these words and I followed them around and I felt them in my hands and I sat with them for hours and soon, I truly believed and now, one year later, I have a successful, money-making photography business. TWF taught me to REACH for the stars, gave me the courage to put myself out there and also taught me how to do just that.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me or I can put you in direct contact with Jennifer Helen. (and then you’ll meet her and probably die because she’s one of the most beautiful, genuine, soulful people YOU WILL EVER MEET. And this is truth and can be backed up by hundreds of people.)

Anyway. JUST GO.

whew.

You can “like” Triple W on Facebook and find out a ton of information about it here. Also, check out the photos from last year’s event.

One more thing about Jennifer Helen. She and I have known each other for a very, very long time. Something like, seventeen years. She is married, has three bright and hilarious children, she’s a yoga instructor, she has her own business. She doesn’t just put these workshops together, she IS this workshop. She lives it and breathes it and is a true testimony that integration of work and life (and spirit and soul) is completely possible. (literally every.single. detail of this workshop is considered.)

my soul sister

She and I have spent countless, COUNTLESS hours sitting at restaurants, eating six different appetizers, drinking coffee or beer, and we talk. And talk. And talk. And every time I leave that table and hug her goodbye (her hugs are by far the greatest things in the universe), I leave feeling fulfilled and light. Like I just had the best and most effective and life changing therapy session. So, when she first told me about this “workshop” and this idea that she’s working on. All I could think was, “of course it will come together and be a success because if I can sit across from her a table in a diner for three hours and we are talking about work and family and life and I feel like I’m in the presence of pure greatness, then how would it feel to spend a WEEKEND listening to the very people who shape HER.” And? She speaks, too. And you fall in love with her and the butterflies and her soul and TWF. And everything comes together and for the first time in a long time you remember how beautiful life is SUPPOSED to be but you lost sight of that because life is chaotic and hard and demanding.

But she reminds you.

And then every time you’re driving and the sun filters through your windows, and you’re sitting at a stop light (which you won’t mind doing after TWF), you’ll see a beautiful and unique butterfly fluttering across your windshield, you’ll be reminded of the greatness of this life. YOUR LIFE.

And you’ll think of Jennifer Helen and you’ll close your eyes briefly and breathe a soft breath and you’ll remember that life is that moment. So, what will you make of it?

This post? Is NOT sponsored. It comes from MY heart, MY mind and MY soul. I’m sharing this with you because it’s beautiful and life changing and it’s something I love and want to share with all of you.

Again with the yellow

January 11th, 2011

Back before Eli was born and I was hugely pregnant with a giant baby trying to push himself out of my belly through my belly button, I wrote a post about the color yellow and my new love for it.

Come to find out, nearly ten months later that it wasn’t just a quick fling but a true love affair.

It’s even in my new logo, which is a sign of true love, for sure.

But I keep finding things on the internet and beyond that make me melt, yellows pillows and shirts, yellow candle holders and yellow handbags.

I wanted to share some beautiful yellow with you. You like yellow, right?

This wall art?

a simple yellow coin purse.

and OHMYGOODNESS, this chair:

I super-duper love this dutch oven, although, my kitchen walls are sort of yellow so it wouldn’t work. I’d probably paint my walls for this dutch oven, though.

Speaking of wall color. If I could paint my kitchen walls any color, I’d choose white. No kidding.

This adorable storage bench is on my very long WANT list:

It’s interesting…I love yellow but I do not have much of it. I should probably change that.

I do, however, have this scarf, it’s my favorite winter accessory!

What color do you absolutely LOVE?

Halloween Makeover. THE VIDEOS.

October 17th, 2009

Now, before you watch these, please remember how much I despise myself in video.  DESPISE.  Actually, it’s also like a fear of mine, or something, I can’t describe but it’s not good.  Not good at all.  So, please be kind and maybe don’t even pay attention to me.  Maybe pay attention to the incredible design team and their unbelievable talent they possess and also don’t forget to pay very close attention to all of the awesomeness they put into my house.

These videos knock my socks off.

Thank you, Kmart, for choosing me for this opportunity.  I’m a lucky, lucky girl.  (if you have any questions, leave them in the comments and I’ll answer in a separate post.)

Really moving

October 14th, 2009

We are feeling pretty happy and carefree here today.  I’m extra, extra tired so I took a long nap.  While I laid on the couch, I felt the baby move.  Really move.  And then it happened again.  I gasped and then I cried.

Such a beautiful moment.

I posted over here today about someone squashing my son’s dessert dreams.  See you tomorrow morning for You Capture!
