A Place Like This......

Prom-enade 2010

Aunt Susie offered her house to get ready in. Big sister Zaina came with bags of shoes,make-up,finger-nail polish, and a car load team of "make-over" artists for her little sister's prom.

"Ok mom I'm ready. How do I look?"

And there standing before me my sweet Mimi had transformed into my little lady.

  

Next it was off to meet friends and take photos. Many of these kids have been together since pre-school. I I can't believe how quickly time has gone, how many happy memories we all have had together. These images looking very grown-up and different than those sweet little four year olds I knew back when. It left me feeling completely nostalgic. Even though they are grown up they are still sweet.

  
Happy Prom Everyone!

P.S.When I told Gillian I was taking photos for the blog I got these reactions. So Gilley this ones for you. You looked beautiful by the way. Not only was your dress outstanding but I loved your shoe choice.;)

 

 
  

{This Moment}

{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 would like to discover more moments have a look here. Happy Weekend everybody!

upside down tuesday

I really had a lot to say this morning. That was until the day turned upside down. So instead I will leave the best most comforting salad in the world. After the impending home repair, I plan on getting caught up on my blog reading and doing a little crafting. I'll be back tomorrow.

This salad is so good I barely had time to get a photo of it. They ate it in spoonfuls from the bowl. Note to Self: Place in individual bowls before announcing what's for lunch.

Lentil Salad

• 1 cup of lentils
• 5 tomatoes
• 1 zucchini
• 7 oz of spinach
• 1/2 of red onion
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 clove of garlic
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Salt to taste
• Ground Black Pepper

Cook the lentils in a sauce pan filled with water just covering the lentils for about 20 minutes or until cooked. While the lentils are cooking,chop the tomatoes,zucchini,spinach,onions and garlic. Add the olive oil lemon juice,salt, and pepper. Mix well. Drain the water off the lentils. I let my lentils cool but you can use them warm as well. Throw in the lentils, stir and serve.

(Sorry for the "non" artistic photos. I had to act quickly and didn't have time for the usual presentation.) Enjoy!

Eggstraordinary

What includes 151 eggs, multi-colored baskets, a wide variety of chocolate,dodging curious foxes and a sister bent on spreading spring happiness?

That would be the extremely eggstraordinary egg hunt.

 

 
 
 Have a great day. There's a new post over at Jump Into A Book. Enjoy!
