Reform School: Fantastic Orange Amish Made Scooters

Eben knows how to ride a bicycle, but completely prefers riding his scooter instead. After seeing these fantastic Amish Made Scooters from Reform School, I now understand. Aren’t they great? I love, love, love the color, orange is my fave. And the basket, oooo, the basket. I think if I had this cute scooter, I would prefer it over my bicycle as well.
Would you ride a scooter?
Or stick with your bicycle?

UPPERCASE: A Magazine for the Creative and Curious

UPPERCASE magazine is published by Janine who opened UPPERCASE gallery in February 2005. UPPERCASE is a quarterly magazine and one that you will want to keep forever to read and re-read and display on your fabulous bookcase. You may have seen Janine’s graphic design work and self directed projects in ReadyMade, How and Applied Arts. I really, really, really want a set of my own.

Don’t the covers alone make you want a copy of your own?
What is your fave creative magazine?

The Great Blue Hole, Belize

Ever since I read the book ‘The Lovely Bones’ several years ago, sink holes have frightened me. However, The Great Blue Hole in Belize is super fascinating to me. And a little frightening.

How does this picture make you feel?
Would you scuba dive into it?
Take a boat ride across it?

Yvette Inufio – Photography that is Speaking to Me Today

Does Yvette Inufio know that I am moving back to the sea? Since I have Florida on my mind, her photography is really speaking to me.

Isn’t it lovely and calming?
I can’t wait to visit the sea again.

Back from Florida – Only to Go Back in 12 days: The Countdown Begins

Hello, Friends! We are back from our 10 day stay in Florida, OK well, 2 of us are back. Mr. Sweet Greens’ is at his first day of work as we speak. It is fantastic that he found a job so quickly! I just thought it would happen once we had actually moved to Florida, silly me, right? Now, I have to pack my entire house by myself. Is that crazy or what?

We rented a 3 bedroom villa on a lake in a lovely little community in Palm Beach County. We decided renting for a while would give us a better idea of exactly where we want to live, plus it removed a lot of the stress of moving so quickly. The community that we will be renting in has a large pool that is easily accessible from the walkway around the lake. In fact, we can see the pool from our patio. Eben’s school is right down the street, next door to the library! You know we will be stopping frequently after school. There is also a Whole Foods directly across the street from our community. We can either walk or ride our bikes to get our groceries. I can’t wait.

I am super excited to get to spend a lot of quality time with Eben’s great grandparents, my father and mother in law and other family and friends. Especially, the lovely Cameron Mora, my best friend from early parenthood. We have been friends since our first born children were tiny tots, but haven’t seen each other in years. We were able to see each other during our stay in Florida and it was if we didn’t skip a beat. Great friendships are just like that, agree?

So, for the next couple of weeks, I will be packing and packing and then do a little more packing. In the process, I am going to try to squeeze in time to blog, build Lego’s with Eben, take a water aerobics class or two and enjoy my lovely friends here in Colorado for a couple more weeks. Ok, I am exhausted already!

Thank you for being here through this huge transition! You guys are the best listeners. 🙂

xo,
Sweet Greens
