A Day At The Vintage Market and a Lemonade Stand #TroopOneX

This weekend was one crazy busy hoo-ha!

My kids had last week off and it was relaxing...

but we ended it with a bang.

I participated in our city's artwalk on Friday.

This weekend was also the fourth Friday of the month...

and to me, that means it is my favorite weekend -

time for our vintage wholesale market Pickings!

Succulents and and iron grate

Last month I sold my banners there,

but this month I shopped and my kiddos hosted a lemonade stand

(see more about that a bit later in the post).

I just wanted to share some of my eye candy from this weekend,

as captured on my HTC OneX phone.

This phone takes the most amazing photos - I am blown away.

These photos may have been cropped but not retouched/altered at all...

aren't they gorgeous!? ENJOY!

Dreaming of a Vacation #TroopOneX #HTCOne

If you asked most people I know, they would not say I am the traveling kind.

I have the wanderlust in me...but the plane rides do not excite me...

BUT the desire to see the world outweighs my fear. 

I will hop on one of those flying machines to get to amazing destinations...

My kids are on break from school next week and while we are not leaving on a jet plane...I wish we were, and so I am taking a moment to dream a bit about where I want to go.

How about Paris?
I have been before and really hope to go again with my kids.
But for now I will make do with my daughter's La-Dee-Da doll and a pink Eiffel Tower bank.

Or the Beach?
Then there is the thought of sitting on a warm beach in Maui. We were just there in June...but so much has happened in our lives since then, we all need another vacay! I will have sand between my toes, but chances are quite good it will be sand from the California Coast.

Italy is another dream.
I have been there too, but long to spend a summer in a Tuscan Villa. 

My son wants to go to China. Maybe his grandma will take him?

My hubby has been buying rice like nobody's business...
I though his vacation was going to be as a contestant on Survivor.

Hmmm...so much to explore...so much to do!
I will enjoy another mocha and dream.
 

Where do you want to go?

I have been having way too much fun with my new HTC OneX smartphone!

As a member of #TroopOneX, I am roaming my streets capturing what inspires me.

Goals for the New Year...Watch out 2013! #TroopOneX #HTCOne

We are well into 2013 and I am still establishing my goals for the year.

Notice I call them goals.

I quit making resolutions.

I think the last resolution I made was on a stump

in the middle of a forest in Lake Arrowhead.

I cannot remember the resolution...

but I do remember kissing a cute boy afterward.

Anyway...since it is still January,
I feel like I can still announce my first few simple goals for 2013.

These goals are really about focusing on getting my priorities straight and working on me and my overall health and well being. 
 So here they are.

Take more time to walk along the beach...

to enjoy the beach (as long as I still live here)...

and enjoy life.

To take control of my health...this means daily meeting with Jillian...
and creating new healthy habits for getting  my body moving.

I once was a super strict vegetarian and never felt better...
I am "almost" there again. I will continue to eat more fruits, veggies, and whole grains. I will introduce my kids to new flavors and ideas...
and we will all drink a green smoothie everyday!

These photos were taken on my HTC One X for #TroopOneX

So...the BIG question is...

How are you resolutions or goals going for 2013?

Did you make any???
