kicking off my return to the world of blogging,
i am spending my weekend here —

what is this?

“BLOGSHOP is a Photoshop bootcamp. minus the push-ups. It is a full weekend spent stuffing your brain full of things to make your images on your blog unique and eye catching. We teach the basics from scratch as well as some more advanced techniques and then applying them with your own perspective to layouts that you will use when you go back to your own blog. People who have no experience with Photoshop will leave the course with confidence to create layout, prep images for mood boards and collages,

this past weekend we participated in a local flash mob.

it’s been on our family bucket list to be a part of something like this for a long time and we all LOVED it!

we were a part of the mob because my kiddos are in a local kids academy called, “Linx.” it’s the most amazing kids enrichment program – they offer every type of after school activity/sport you can imagine. language classes, music, science, art, movie making, pottery, sports, dance, etc etc etc – all four of my kids are registered with them for something! and, Linx sponsored/organized the flash mob, so we signed up the very instant we got word of it!

i realized long ago that in the ‘self-employed world’ {my husband is the sole-owner of his sportswear company},
there is never really an ideal time to take a vacation.

but sometimes you just must break away – and this year, we are trying to break away on a regular basis to explore the east coast.

…this upcoming three-day weekend we are headed with the kids to washington d.c. to see the fall foliage, monuments, and visit with some family.

what are your plans?

***

see you next week!
xoxo.
