It’s Good Friday and the beginning of Easter weekend. Grand Central Station is probably very busy today with travelers! What a great day to people watch. I used to work above Grand Central Terminal in New York City. There were those days when I would get stressed, need a breather, or need some inspiration so […]
“Often when we feel depleted we reach for a cup of coffee, but research suggests a better way to get energized is to connect with nature,” says Richard Ryan, lead author and a professor of psychology at the University of Rochester. Research shows that nature helps not only physically but also mentally. People have more energy, […]
After thinking about my People Watch: Dubrovnik post, I decided to post some of my laundry photos. Traveling to other countries and exploring the neighborhood streets is very inspiring to me. I love it when I see the laundry hanging from the clothes lines. To people who live in these countries, this could be boring […]
In the United States, it’s not very common to see laundry hanging out of people’s windows. When I travel, I always notice the clothes hanging from the line and I take a lot of pictures of them. This woman looks like she has hung a lot of clothes from this window. I wonder what she […]
Easter is getting close and I’m starting to think about my children’s Easter baskets. How much chocolate is too much for a three-year-old? Well, this is simply a rhetorical question. I have taught my children to share (with me)! Anyways, these thoughts get me thinking about quaint chocolate shops. There are certainly less of them […]
I actually had a Colorful Mondays written about another topic but since I woke up to snow falling, I decided to post one about white. More specifically, this post is about Scandinavian interiors. As I look out my office window, all I see is snow falling! It is gorgeous, I must admit. The flakes are […]
A private space that is outdoors and indoors is a great place for me to daydream. It’s very relaxing to have the comforts of home but hear the birds chirping so clearly and smelling fresh-cut grass. Watching the breeze sail through the rustling leaves and then feel it flow across my face is so refreshing. […]
My favorite time of the day. Evening. The sun is setting with a little color peeking through the trees or over the roofs. The water is still as it’s finished for the day. It signifies how I feel… relaxed. It’s my time to think about how the day went and what to expect for tomorrow. […]
I am a fan of the madras quilt. My little boy is growing up and I will soon be lucky enough to decorate his new big boy bedroom. I’ve had my eye on the madras quilt from Pottery Barn Kids for probably about a year by now. Does the thought of decorating a new room […]
Sometimes I daydream about living abroad. How about I bring abroad home and live in a European-style home here in the United States. I found some gorgeous homes online that look very European and have a charm that I adore. I can imagine having a quiet, fashionable life in one of these. These homes certainly […]
