Value of Life

What is your life worth? Have you ever asked yourself that question? 

 

I think that as children we truly value life and live it to its fullest. Children are so present that they have no fear.

Once we reach adulthood we lose "the magic", gain fear, live in the past or future and most days take it for granted. If we had been born with an expiration date stamped on us, we probably would have a different perspective. 

We don't know how much time we have, nor do we know how long others have either. 

 

What would you begin to do differently today if you knew your expiration date? Do it. One day you'll find out what it is, and it'll be too late.

 

 

 Enjoy your Labor Day weekend! See you back on Tuesday.

Inspiration: Hello Kitty Art

With the surprising news yesterday that "Hello Kitty is NOT a cat", but is in fact a cartoon character of an English girl named Kitty White (yes, I know, what?!!??), I thought that today's inspiration could appropiately be of this cute British little girl. Here are a few pieces featuring Sanrio characters, including our beloved Hello Kitty. Enjoy!

A Pennsylvania Birthday: Part Two

After spending the day in Philadelphia for Brian's birthday, it was time to celebrate Duo's birthday. He loves Sesame Street, so when I found out about Sesame Place (why wasn't there one when I was a kid?), I knew that would be the perfect place for his third birthday.

He had so much fun (OK we had)! We were there for two days. The first day we rode all the "dry" rides and the second day was spent at the water park. Did I say FUN?

We also had dinner with Elmo, Cookie Monster and friends for his birthday dinner. Including dancing, eating, an Elmo cake and lots of furry hugs!

Brian and I are definitely kids at heart. We all had a blast! I'm sure it's a birthday that Duo will never forget! I cannot wait to go back!

Thanks for joining us!

 

 

Part One here.

A Pennsylvania Birthday: Part One

A few weeks ago we headed to Pennsylvania to celebrate Brian and Duo's birthdays. First stop Philadelphia. We had never been there, so of course we checked out all the amazing history.

We took a tour of the Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were drafted and signed, and we definitely wanted to see the Liberty Bell.

We also visited Franklin Court, which is where Benjamin Franklin's house once stood. Today there is a steel-framed outline of Franklin's home, a museum with a print shop and a post office.

And of course, since we were celebrating Brian's birthday, we ate...a lot! 

Philadelphia is a beautiful city and we definitely have to return to see more. Thanks for joining us!

 

 

Stay tuned for part two...
