Dylan knows how to make me feel special, especially on my birthday. Three years ago he whisked me away to Mexico City (one of my favorite cities in the world) and asked him to marry him. Last year, when we moved to our new home with a backyard, he whipped up a 5-course birthday dinner for me... Comment - Like

I love film photography. I love the unexpected. I love waiting for my film to develop. Photography is like slow cooking – everything tastes better when it's slow cooked. I have several film cameras {my loves} that I would like to share with you today. Enjoy!

Before we left for Japan, our friend Rickmond aka Rameniac sent us an email with some of his favorite ramen spots in Tokyo. First on his list - Mochi Mochi No Ki.

Now that I'm on vacation, I'll be trying to catch up on some rest and relaxation. Most of my time is being spent waking up at the break of dawn for World Cup or spending time in the backyard sipping on Pimm's Cups.
I'll be back to blogging soon. I promise.
