Inspirational Art - Nobuhiro Nakanishi

As promised, mostly to myself of course, I'll start compiling a long list of artists who's work appeal to me personally.  They touch me on the level which is not always understood intellectually, but rather felt and communicated spiritually.  I will not discuss the work, it is simply a "note to self".

I recommend... strongly.

Did I mention I love my husband, how wonderful he is, how generous kind and thoughtful... Just in case I wasn't clear enough, please allow me to reiterate! First of - there are these lovely concoctions which I get to have EVERY morning:-)

On occasion, he even takes time from his awfully busy days to get me some of these.

I unwrap this magic and enjoy... If you never tried this chocolate, I strongly recommend. The content is sugar, cocoa and salt... and that's it!

And if you have time, watch this fantastic film.

I Love Shopping For My Baby

Being a mom made me take a good long look at my list of hobbies and downsize.

As sad as I was the reward of parenthood is really unsurpassable, so after deep reflection I have decided that my favorite hobby is… SHOPING (ta da!)

Since I’m no longer ashamed of it, I’m incorporating the ‘new’ hobby into my little blog.  Firs on the agenda are baby blocks.   Obviously I cannot in all good sense buy my baby only one (imagine the horror) set, I’ve put together a small collection to acquire by his first birthday.  

On a small note, you never have to pay retail - I just go to Amazon.
