Three Goals to Achieve for 2012.

Goal #1: Take more photos of everyday life at school & outside of school.
Goal #2: Blog more regularly.
Goal #3: Don't give up on goals 1 or 2 this year... :)

Here are just a few fun photos from some time spent in Excelsior by Lake Minnetonka with the pup, as well as a joyous sunny afternoon walk at the MN Landscape Arboretum to get started.

love those dog boots when it's muddy/salty/snowy out!

yes, we're still kids at heart!

cool new pieces throughout the Arb right now!

Dear Family & Friends,
I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and are able to spend some quality time with your families this holiday season. 
Love, Ashley & Mika

Not sure what to do with the caroling Christmas mouse!

Things New and Things Old.

First of all, sorry I haven't written in so long. Things have gotten busy lately and I've basically just pushed the blog aside. However, I've also decided that I need to slow down and take more time to do the things that I love. It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of work and I often forget to take time for myself. I must admit that I have some very talented friends though and because of them I feel inspired to remember to take time to do the things I love. Here are some photos of the things I've been up to lately and a few from a year ago...it's amazing how time flies! As the holiday season is upon us I'm taking time to look back and reflect on the things I've done, but also think about the future and all that is to come. I'm not sure what exciting thing I'll do next, but I'm feeling hopeful that I'll figure it out soon!
