Yesterday I participated in the Brew to Brew relay race with a group of friends. Eight of us ran 44 miles from Kansas City to Lawrence. Check out my friend Julie’s blog post to learn more about it!

Mandy ran her leg of the Brew to Brew race on a gravel road. She carried our “Sparkle Ponies” baton with pride!

This big girl turns two this week. We enjoyed a sweet birthday party filled with frozen yogurt, cupcakes, and candy this weekend. (Did you catch the pun?) She’s growing up so quickly! To see how much she’s grown, check out these other photos of her.

Photo of the Day: Delicate & Sturdy Flower

On April 5, 2013 By LindyIn nature, photography4 Comments

I recently passed a downtown community garden on a walk. With our long winter and spring just beginning, nothing had been planted yet. I did find this tiny flower, which reminded me of baby’s breath. So delicate, yet so sturdy after surviving the harsh winter.

Can you name this plant? Is it baby’s breath or something else?

I took a walk with my camera today and happened upon some interesting artwork near the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Kansas City. What do you think of it?

Photo of the Day: Light Project

On April 1, 2013 By LindyIn photography

One of the first projects in our new home was replacing our entryway light. Check out the before and after and let me know you think.

Most of our house was move-in ready, but my husband was definitely ready to get rid of this light fixture – it had to be an original. I don’t think it had ever been dusted, either.

Here is our new, modern light fixture for our entryway. It kind of reminds me of a kitchen light, but we like it. 30 years from now some young’ins will be ripping it out of the entryway in disgust.

Happy Easter! We were happy to host Easter at our house this year – our first chance to “entertain” in our new home.

Photo of the Day: Snowy Spring, Not So Uncommon

On March 28, 2013 By LindyIn photography

We’ve all been complaining about how unusually cold & snowy this spring has been so far. How many of you in the Midwest remember that it snowed this time two years ago? Yep, I was going through my archives and came upon this photo to prove it. Luckily we had a nice warm up today!
