AN AFTER WORK DATE

Feb 25, 2013

A trip down to the ocean was just what Martin & I needed. I don't know what it is, but the last few weeks have left me feeling so scattered. For March, I'd really like to get my butt in gear, and start fresh... new goals, create a blog schedule (it's been a challenge the last few months), change up my hair, finish decorating our place, and get out more with my honey. This winter in particular has been dragging on and I can't wait for spring to arrive. I'm sure I'll have a renewed pep to my step just from the new season. And... look at that sun! Martin & I have made it a priority to get more family time after work as well as mix up our usual routine. We usually pack up some food, grab our dog and head somewhere scenic to chill & unwind. Watching Scout chase birds, run circles around us, listen to the waves crash and take in that amazingly fresh air... definitley chases our troubles away!

  6. I am so jealous. At least you don't have snow. I really want Spring to hurry up. This winter has gone on far too long.

    Lovely photos.

  31. oh Veronika, i'm in a beaming craze right now!! Seeing your guys out and about, enjoying the sunshine, fresh breeze blowing and Scout making an appearance always sets the best kinda tone whenever i arrive here.

    you know, just the other night i was ranting to Sean about God knows what and he was all like. hey babe, let me stop you right there - i think it's time we get outta here and explore the seawall or something i swear, being by the waters edge really does something to our equilibrium. for me it adds a definite balance and allows the stress to absorb at a rate i can actually cope with. for reals! i hear you lades and am so happy you are connecting the dots to make way for more of that goodness.

    i hope you continue basking in a blissed out week and your heart is smiling (as mine does when i think of you!). xo ♥

  32. I think I am in a "hurry up and get here Spring" slump too! I can't wait to see your new hair color, I just recently went red and am always looking for new inspiration!
