hello all. i have been lying a little low this week. yesterday was my birthday, so i just wanted to take some time to think about some things.

i did end up making the pizza earlier this week. thanks for all your suggestions. i used this recipe and it was so amazing. i used 1/2 whole wheat flour, which worked out really well. my friend actually worked on the sauce, and he added a ton more garlic, chopped basil, and lots of black pepper. it was so delicious.

i also made a salad adapted from one of my favorite restaurants. it was really simple too: arugula, baked apples and gorgonzola with a little balsamic basil vinaigrette. you can also add walnuts if you want. SO good.

add a few brooklyn lager east india pale ales and you have a perfect evening. simply lovely.

have you been to heather's new shop yet? there are some beautiful pieces for sale.

i had a little extra time, so i added a few new things to my shop, including these new postcards, which i am really excited about. there are also some more notebooks and a couple of new prints.

i hope you like my favorite photos this week. they represent reflection, new beginnings, and celebrations of life. i love them all! have a wonderful weekend...be sure to eat some eggs {at least some chocolate ones}.

Do you ever feel like there is so much to do that you don't know where to start? you are constantly in motion, but not really getting anything done. running on empty. this is how i have felt lately. i am ready for a little slow down. maybe soon.

for now, i will happily remain busy for another few weeks. i have added this print to the shop. it is one of the photos i created for lines & shapes.

i recently photographed another wedding. it was a lot of work, but also really fun. take a look at some of the photos here.

take a look at some fun travel photos.
