What is up with all this rain? Between the Government Shutdown, gloomy sky and rain DC is a pretty melancholy place today. At least it is Friday!! To stick with my fall/apple picking theme from yesterday I took one of the photos I took at the orchard and edited it to be black and white. I’m really into black and white photography lately.
Happy Friday and have a fabulous weekend!!

This picture screams home/childhood to me. While I love DC and do think of it as home there are somethings the nation’s capital just can’t deliver on … and the ocean is one of them. Growing up in Massachusetts it was rare to go very long without seeing the ocean. Nowadays I can go weeks, sometimes months, without actually seeing or smelling the ocean.
Last time the husband and I went to visit my parents and sister we spent a lovely day on the boat. After snapping this photo of the lighthouse I made a mental note to edit it first when I got back to the city! I’m thrilled with how it came out. If only I could think of a good place in the condo to hang this picture … maybe the master bath … I’ll have to run that by the husband. =)
As the summer slowly draws to a close I thought this photograph was very fitting!!
Happy Friday and have a fabulous weekend!!

My sister-in-law was giving Dallas, the horse, a little love when I snapped this photo last weekend. As I was editing photos I quickly shared the black and white version with the in-laws. I was so pleased with their reaction it seemed like the perfect photo to share as I get back on track with blogging! Sometimes taking the color out of a photo makes the moment captured that much more beautiful.
Happy Friday and have a fabulous weekend!!

Babies are just all around adorable … not to mention they some how manage to capture your heart without even trying. Can you tell I’ve been spending time around an infant??! My friend recently gave birth to her beautiful baby boy (remember the “Little Man” baby shower?) and needless to say I’ve been visiting her and the little man quite often. :) Last week we did a little photo shoot and I adore this shot of his itty bitty foot. It is crazy to me how teeny tiny baby feet are!!!
Happy Friday and have a fabulous weekend!!

I was rereading the about page for Life’s Tidbits the other day and started thinking about ways to share more random tidbits. Specifically I was focused on “life is a compilation of the small things, tidbits…”. So here goes nothing. Below is a collection of some very random tidbits from the past week or so …
1 – I’ve taken butter out of the refrigerator to soften three days in a row and end up putting it back. I keep meaning/wanting to make sugar cookies, however I think it’s best for my waist line if I don’t have 2 dozen cookies laying around for me to eat … I mean the last time I had them around I started eating them for breakfast on a Friday! Truth!!
2 – Texts You Don’t Want To Get From Your Parent – #5 is pretty darn funny! #7 is fabulous. #8 goes out to my sister … :) and omg please don’t miss #12 … scratch that read them ALL!! 90% of these made me LOL … I am laughing so hard that the dog is confused and is barking at me.
3 – I have been battling a case of writers block over the last couple of weeks. I feel like I’m finally coming out of it, but blogger writing block is a first for me. I found it really frustrating that the words just weren’t coming to me.
4 – Revenge has become one of my favorite TV shows and I don’t really know anyone else who watches it. Literally I’ve been trying to recruit people to watch it for a few months now so I can chat about it with someone. I managed to get my sister all sucked into the show, but haven’t been successful with anyone else. Do YOU watch Revenge? … oh my I think I’ve taken to recruiting via blog posts (hang head in shame)!
5 – I think my new recipe for March is going to be a Chocolate Peanut Butter and Raspberry Truffle. I wanted to call it PB&R, but that kind of reminds me of the beer PBR instead of of the PB&J sandwich I was going for. Any suggestion for a cute name for my new truffle?
6 – Lightroom is my new favorite photo editing software thanks to my friend Sara. Don’t get me wrong I am certainly not ready to part ways with PhotoShop, however Lightroom makes editing photos super fun and easy.
7 – Lofty goals of getting back into running came to a screeching halt after just one run. In just a few short weeks there will be no more “it’s just so cold outside” excuses … hopefully the spring weather will help my running motivation levels!
8 – One of my oldest friends is coming to visit me next week!!! She did this horrible thing about a year ago and move all the way to the west coast. It just isn’t the same without her in DC. I am super excited to spend some quality time with her next week.
9 – When I learned that Google Reader was “closing its doors” (so to speak) on July 1st I kind of freaked out. Google Reader has been like an iv for reading blogs, new and trashy celebrity gossip. I use the mobile app as well as the bower based version more than once a day. Not to worry I found a replacement I do believe (… more to come). Were you as upset as I was to learn Google Reader will be no more?
10 – This post has zero pictures. I wonder if anyone is going to read it … I mean everyone likes a little eye candy. Maybe I should add some pictures in next week … thoughts?
BONUS TIDBIT – Once tomorrow’s blog post goes live I will have blogged 4 (YES FOUR!) times this week. I think that’s a new record. I’m pretty stoked. =)
What random tidbit do you have to add this week?
