Sigh... this series just puts a smile on my face :).  Meet little Murph, the coolest kid in town. Chris and I went on an adventure with Murph and his rad rents, Alyssa & Rich, while we were in Upstate New York last week. I'm knee deep in lots of edits but this series just grabbed my heart strings like mad so I just had to share. This is Murph chasing me down in the rain, the shutter is just slow enough that you can see the rain drops in some, but mostly I just love the pure energy and freedom in these frames. 

Is it just me or does life feel like it is just flying? I don't know where my days are going. Yesterday I sat down at my computer at 7:30am and the next time I looked at the clock it was 3pm... it's like I've been sucked into a black hole time conundrum. Last I looked it was Monday and now it's Friday?! Sometimes I wish that I could just go Zach Morris style and throw up the "Time out" sign while the rest of the world stops around me. It's times like this when I am reminded that time really is the greatest gift we can give someone. I'm learning a lot about life balance and how to allocate my time best right now. It's a challenge! I know it is one many small business owners encounter on a daily basis... especially the moms of the world. I don't know how they juggle it all. My hats off to them for raising little gems like Murph, running businesses and still keeping their cool. 

Happy Friday, may little Murph make you smile like he did me :)

Today we got on a plane and headed out to upstate New York to stay in a beautiful cabin nestled on a lake with some great friends of ours, Mark & Candice. Although we just arrived this afternoon I already feel my body tuning into relaxation mode. I also swallowed a bug today, which officially makes me ten times the outdoors-woman I was when I arrived. We have been living in comfy thai pants, embracing no make up, no twitter, no facebook and just being with one another, reading and chillaxing.

I read the quote above the other day in a book I am reading and highlighted it and have continued to come back to it. I love Thoreau's perspective on life, simplicity, and pursuing dreams with no apologies. There is such a truth in the "invisible boundary" that is broken when we step confidently toward our dreams. Thinking a lot about this quote recently and just wanted to share...
