my idea of the perfect home.

the darkroom

just received the prints from my first ever developed rolls of film from my holga. i am shaking with excitement! why is no one here with me to be excited with me?! here's a look at my budding holga photographic skills. i think i got a couple really cool shots in there. can't wait to send in the other rolls. thank you so much to the dark room for getting the developed quickly and for even developing 120 film in the first place. you guys rock!

love this coffee press! got it for camping but i wanted to try it out before our next trip. loved it so much i'm using it daily at home. it's replaced my glass coffee shop french-press. keeps the coffee warmer than my glass one and looks great. had a few friends over for breakfast yesterday and they were all asking questions about it and admiring it. so easy to clean and i like the extra filter in the pour spout to catch any stray grinds that might escape the press filter. the spout pours well and i haven't had a drip yet.

happy new year!

it's hard to believe how warm it's been in the new year but we aren't complaining. after school and on the weekends we've been taking quick trips over to hanson-larson memorial park to better enjoy the weather. i'm so thankful that rapid city, south dakota has as many family friendly outdoor activities as it does. who would have thought 3 years ago we would be loving our new home this much we would end up becoming residents of the state!
