The Sunday Evening Post

Remember when I used to be a morning blogger, and my post were always up around 6am? Yeah I don't remember that either. Man summer vacation is only a week in the books and it is already messing with my mommy balance! So why I crash and burn from my first week of summer, here is the long awaited Sunday Morning Evening Post.


The Arts Section
Have you been playing along with the Creativity Boot Camp? It has been a great experience, so inspiring to me and so many other people, THANK YOU Maegan!


I have been writing fiction and it has really been a great and opened up something inside of me I didn't know was there.  I have also been trying to do photography as well, but with no sun this weekend, well Chicago can sometimes be a black hole of natural light so I am hoping to get some sun tomorrow to catch up on my shots. If you're looking for inspiration and have an hour, or two or three to get sucked in to the awesomeness you should check out the Creativity Boot Camp Flickr Pool. It is really amazing!


I could not possibly in a million years narrow down a favorite, so I am going to just say that I loved these two.
