Friday Favorites – Happy Friday!

Here’s just a few of my favorites from this past week.

First, you should be warned.  I watch a lot of older movies.

I love this movie.  I love Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, and I love them together.

Overboard even has a moral to the story: It’s better to have purpose and be happy than to be rich and bored.  But if you can, it’s better to have both.

I’m going to have to say I agree.


We actually watched both of these last weekend.  I liked The Burbs better than The Money Pit.

I think the latter hit a little too close to home. Anyone feel free to send over Extreme Home Makeovers anytime. Our family would love a week at the beach while someone did all of the repairs. It’s been four years since we’ve been on a vacation. Of course, there is the issue of color.  That could be a problem.

Even though this is an older movie, I think it was the first time that I actually watched all of The Burbs.  I love guys.  Aren’t they just the cutest?  I love that little bit of crazy, guy mischief every once in a while.

My all time favorite from this week was this quote posted on facebook by Donna (Bliss Designs by Donna Marie), a friend of mine.  She gets me.  She really does.  She had me at hello. She knows a lot of great quotes, too.

I think this is my most favorite quote.  Ever.  I have escaped more into my photography the past two months, and it really does make you feel like you just washed off all the yuck of life.

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. -Pablo Picasso

And I will leave you with that on this blissfully beautiful Friday!

About Extraordinary in the Ordinary

I am a professional photographer who lives and works from her heart. My goal is always and in everything to be better today than I was yesterday. I’m an ordinary person dealing with what I like to believe are ordinary issues, but in all the ordinary days, I want to live an extraordinary life. I am the mom to two grown sons, and there has been nothing I have loved more than being their mom and being home with them. And while you are always a mom, there is a certain part of that time in my life that is over now that they are grown. I miss hearing them play and having them with me all the time and having all their friends over, but it is time to move to the next stage of life or at least trying to figure out what that is. I am making a list of personal goals, connecting with friends, and still nesting even though the children are grown. I think I will always be a "nester". Home is where the heart is. I love home and love making it a healing place of peace and comfort.
