Okay, I know this shot is not too interesting, but last evening was a good time shared by friends.

My husband, a high school art teacher, recently (took a few years) had an AP Art History course approved. This was very exciting for him since he had taught this course at his dream job he left in California to move to Illinois.

I asked if I could take his class…which got me thinking…

why not ask some of my friends if they are interested in listening to Nathan talk about Art History…from Ancient to now…I had several “takers”!

Last night was our first “Art Collective” and we had 12 guests. It was great fun and nice to get out (although we hosted!), learn something, and not use TV or a movie as means to entertain (we have other evenings for that!).

Plus the treats would lure anyone to show up!

sit…sit…stay…stay…okay!

multitasking

So it seems like I have lost rhythm in posting.

I remember the days when I would sometimes post twice in a day…and then post again the next day! Not mentioning that at them time I had only one school-aged child and 2 kids at home…did I neglect them ? What the heck did I find was so important?!

I also remember feeling incredibly inspired, not just by reading blogs, but living my days with a sense of wonder and beauty. Is it because now my kids are getting older and I am working more outside the home? Or have I become apathetic to the blogging world? Probably a little of both and trying to find the right balance in my life. All I know is that I like this space.

Awhile back, I self-imposed a 30 days of living project and I found it incredibly fulfilling in a very simple sort of way. Just using my basic Canon Powershot and snapped away as I saw my day with very little text.

I’m at it again. Nothing like a little challenge, right? A little photographic therapy is in order and hopefully I can look back at this month and smile (I know I will).
