in the quiet moments.


when all i can hear in our little house is the hum of the refrigerator, here are some of the things i think about:
  • my yoga practice is like therapy.... only cheaper.
  • being married has already exceeded my expectations. the fact that hubby and i are both ridiculously excited about our new vacuum, that's just icing. :) (p.s. how domesticated are we?! yikes.)
  • pie-baking might be my new favorite hobby. does anyone have a favorite recipe? yesterday i was wondering if i could bake a pie with figs in it... hm.
  • pursuing my dreams full-time is harder than i thought it would be. but i am still so lucky to have the chance.
so, what are you thinking about lately?

happy november, friends!

    Lovely picture...very tranquil...it feels GREAT when you can do what you love...it'll always be a little struggle in the begining, but that's just to make you realise that you're doing something which is from the heart and to keep at it...
    Here's one of my fave recipes for figs...and SO easy!

    I lived in the mediterranean for 7 years and could pick them off the trees when we went for walks...LOVE figs.

    I love that silence in the house. Recently, I have been thinking about pursuing my dreams and my upcoming trip to NYC.

    I love your little posts! My favorite pie recipe would have to be caramel with a graham cracker crust. It's the only pie I can manage to make entirely from scratch. I love being married, too. It's funny how after living together and sharing everything, somehow it can still be different. Happy Monday!

    The Creamy Pumpkin Pie recipe from Williams Sonoma is like a heart attack in a pie shell, but I LOVE it. So yummy and rich!

    Oh how I love the quiet moments. In my home its the purring of the cats and the faint sound of school children a few doors down. Cheers to domesticity.
