daydreamin'

 

it makes me happy

My eyes see a different world behind that lens.
My eyes see things that don't normally appear with just walking past.

Moments freeze.
Emotions are painted
Time stands still in just one capture.

This is how I like to remember. This is how I like to visualise.

And this, well, this is just how I like seeing the world.

riding a cruiser with my hair blowing in the wind

 

 

24 hours.

A cruiser ride through Hermosa/ Redondo / Manhattan Beach.

Architectural eye candy and then some.  Silver grey clouds with a hint of sunshine.

Foie gras burgers, truffle fries, roast chicken, quinoa + hummous and a whole load of wine.

Four halfies + a latina = one epic night of  laughter and a whole load of shufflin'.

a night with my chef

 

One Friday night.
16 people, an extremely hot kitchen.
A whole lot of food and a extreme amount of respect for what my husband does.

Passion is surely what you need to choose this career.

I'll wait on your doorstep till you let me come in

A bit of Erykah, vintage cigar labels, a mason jar and a whole load of sunshine.

I kinda like it all.

a better day

Me: "Okay time for your nap. Look how tired your eyes are."

Cameron: "But am not tired, am not yawning, Mummy."

A little perspective from my little person.
A little perspective for me to think about when I have the days like I had yesterday.

How can I be miserable + grumpy when I have a smiling face like his keeping me company?
How can wish for days to end when there never seems to be enough time in a day to lay under the covers
with him and just cuddle?
How can I wish time away when all I want is for it to stop when I look at him grow everyday?

A simple smile from him today that brought on an immense understanding.

* EDIT:  As I published this post, I forgot to attach a link to last years. 

And then found that I wrote this letter to my son. I think the universe is

                       trying to tell me something.

is it over yet?

Only ten days in the month and it's been one of those weeks already.

Even  worse, it's been one of those days.
 .. and as much as I hate wishing time away, I can't wait till it ends.

The sun has been shining, however, and has been bringing sunspots into my days again.
They always make my day.
