Looking at my photos you'd think I do nothing other than drive to and fro from one soccer practice/game to another. Well friends, you would be correct and Mother's Day was no exception. In fact, the middle child promised me a championship medal for mom's day and boy did he and the team deliver. Proud mama here for sure. </div>

P.S.- here's a fun, new-to-me discovery for printing those ever-multiplying Instagram pics. I came across this easy to use app, <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/printicular-send-instagram/id570103834?mt=8" target="_blank">Printicular</a>, this weekend. It's billed as "the most convenient way to print your Instagram, Facebook, Flickr, Dropbox and Camera Roll at Walgreens." I picked up my first order today and love the fun 4 x 4 format. I feel a new addiction developing...so be forewarned.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #898989; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> </span></span></div>

It's soccer Saturday. Heck, around here, it's soccer <i>everyday</i>. We are finally coming out of the winter doldrums and the forecast calls for 73 beautiful degrees. Hello sunscreen!<br />
<br />
And in case you were wondering about the photo above, yes, it was a goal. <br />
<br />
Happy <i>almost</i> Spring, friends. <br />

“It’s like a library/sitting room with a bathtub in it,” says Brooks. The hanging light is by Gerrit Rietveld. The bench is 18th-century Swedish and the curtains are made of indigo-dyed Japanese mosquito netting.</div>

And Happy New Year! Long time no talk. I'm not back to blogging, alas, no time as the threesome below has been keeping me busy nonstop, but if for no one other than myself, I try to document a snapshot of my offspring at least once a year. If you have children then you know how difficult it is to get even one good image of a smiling, cooperative child. However, if you have upwards of one child, well, it's almost <i>impossible</i> to get said shot. See proof below. <br />
<br />
Nonetheless, looking at my boys goofing around, I'm reminded as always to count my blessings and, truth be told, I think I like the blurry, fuzzy, slightly out of focus shots the best. After all, life doesn't stand still and clearly, neither do my threesome.<br />

I'm amazed with the attention to detail. However, my favorite takeaway from this portfolio may very well be the generous use of green. While I can keep my house plants relatively healthy and alive, my green thumb does not extend to the great outdoors. As much as I love beautiful flowers, the commitment it takes to produce copious, colorful blooms is more than I can squeeze into my schedule. So it is wonderful to see how much texture, variation of color, and design can be achieved with simple green plantings. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Be sure to visit <a href="http://www.pageduke.com/">Page|Duke</a> for so much more verdant inspiration.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div><a href="http://s601.photobucket.com/albums/tt100/nkp/head%20over%20heels/?action=view&current=whitepaintswatchnewfinalcroppedfini.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt100/nkp/head%20over%20heels/whitepaintswatchnewfinalcroppedfini.jpg" border="0" alt="use this as blog signature" /></a></div>nelyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14773127471112988087noreply@blogger.com31tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360379712436459777.post-38826945341214098062012-08-16T10:44:00.003-04:002012-08-16T10:50:10.084-04:00Textural Explosion<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wml7UhKlSjQ/UC0HhJi-fxI/AAAAAAAAM80/sOO_SAkumTI/s1600/EChic-agosto-4.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wml7UhKlSjQ/UC0HhJi-fxI/AAAAAAAAM80/sOO_SAkumTI/s800/EChic-agosto-4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5777282163065913106" /></a><br /><div>Bamboo, rattan, wicker, palm fronds, and whimsical butterflies.

I promise to come up for air once in a while and in the meantime, do check out these awesome MiNTY newbies. So many goodies have just been added to the shop and just in time for Father's Day. You know dad would love that handsome walnut box to squirrel away his favorite sweet. Or that perfect vintage enamel fish dish to corral his keys and coins.
