I am participating in the weekly Little Bliss List over on Liv Lane's blog.

Liv's mission is to provide us a chance to celebrate the little things that bring us hope and happiness during our week. By sharing those little things, it helps others to see those small gifts in their lives as well!

 {No. 1} Last weekend we took the whole crew to see The Lorax. I work nights, so it's a treat for me to be able to actually go WITH the family to the theater!
{i won't mention that i fell asleep 1/3 into it...lol!}

{No. 2} I'm not much of a "coffee" girl, but the weather has been COLD and RAINY and WINDY here in Washington. Hubby introduced me to mocha breves and they've helped me endure the weather this week at work:)

{No. 3} Speaking of weather...I am enjoying my cheerful polka-dotted umbrella that helps me weather the storms. 

{i have also been daydreaming of warmer climates this week! a girl can only take so much rain, you know?!}

{No. 4} My Grammy went back home to Texas on Sunday:( But before she left, she spent some time with my 4 year old "flower-bombing" my front yard:) They make me smile every time I come or go.

and finally...

{No. 5} I spent some time with The Mister at the bowling alley this week. {we actually met at this very place 18 years ago!} After many years of working hard at his career and raising little kidlets, he's taken it up again. I am so happy to see him taking time for himself and doing something that he truly enjoys!

So, that's my list! 

I hope your week was just as bliss-full!

{№1} The sun is shining more and more! It's still pretty cold here in NW Washington but Spring is on it's way!

{№2} Monday this week, I went shopping with my Mother and Grandmother in a local seaport town. We stopped at a couple of antique stores where I found plenty of things that make me blissfully happy to see!

{№3} Right now TEAL is making me blissfully happy! I am seeing it everywhere and just can't get enough!

{№4} I saw my first "yarn bombing" this week! 

{№5} And last but not least...the flowers are blooming. Not many yet, but they are coming. 

{I am also getting super excited for our local Tulip Festival next month. I can't wait to share some beautiful photos of that with you!}

So, that's my list! 

I hope your week was just as bliss-full!

{№1} Spring is ALMOST here! Once Spring is here, it means that I have survived another Winter! Anyone who suffers from SAD know exactly what I mean!

{№2} My oldest daughter turned 13! I am loving watching the beautiful young woman that she is becoming:)

{№3} On that note, I became the mother-of-a-teenager this week. Wow, growing up is hard! I really don't feel so "old"!

{№4} I am blessed to live so close to the ocean. The sea is my great reprieve. Whenever I am feeling overwhelmed or off balance {weather permitting...} I try to sneak off to the beach for some quiet. This is an IG snappy from a local marina.

{№5} Hubby and my youngest took a photowalk with me on Monday. It was fun watching 4 year old get excited each time we came across a puddle that she could walk through with her rain boots. She had fun until she got a little water INSIDE her boot.

So, that's my list! 

I hope your week was just as bliss-full!

{№1} My little Hailey was sick this week, when she is sick she is super snuggly. I got some extra snuggles with my little munchkin this week which was pure bliss!

{№2}She also discovered her paints this week. It was so sweet watching her mixing colors creating her masterpieces.

{№3}This is my sweet Gram. I whisked her away for a girl's day and surprised her by taking her to an art class.

{№4}That art class was a collage encaustic class by the sweet Sue Simpson. It was my very first encaustic class and the first time that I've use encaustic paints {encaustic medium and pigments}. I created one piece completely out of my comfort zone and am tickled with the results!

{№5}I took my Mom shopping for a new outfit to wear in job interviews. We found her a super cute outfit to wear, one outside of HER comfort zone but it looks awesome on her. {This is me in the fitting room practicing self photography and being the one in front of the camera for once...}

I hope your week was just as bliss-full!

{№1}My Mom moved here from Phoenix!

{№2}Me and The Mister stole away to Starbucks for a lunch date this week.

{№3} We also celebrated our 14 year anniversary.
{I celebrated with a glorious lavender essence creme brulee for dessert!}

{№4}I am continuing to listen {my word for the year!} to my true self and learning to stand in my own light.

{№5}Part of the "standing in my own light", is trusting my artistic voice for once, and creating pieces that are truly my own creations. Not taking another's design and changing it - creating from MY heart.
{new jewelry line coming soon!}

I hope your week was just as bliss-full!

I've decided to join Liv Lane's weekly Little Bliss List on Fridays.

Here is my list for this week:)

{№1} I took 2 photo walks this week and got to spend some quality time with some of my kiddos. It was such a joy to see them enjoying taking pictures as much as I do.

{№2} I completed my first encaustic paintings and was able to get them photographed and loaded into my new Etsy Shoppe!

{№3} The orchid that I've been taking care of at work for over a year bloomed this week! So beautiful!

{№4} I was able to witness the most amazing sunset at Deception Pass. Just gorgeous!

{№5} My new camera arrived! I can't wait to take her for a "walk"!
