moving to a new site

Hello friends, I've decided to move my little online corner to a new site. Please visit me here. Unfortunately I haven't been able to figure out yet how to move all my posts from here to there. I hope that sooner or later I will find a solution.

We are back on track with our weekly posts over at the Focus on Everyday blog. Check out this week's prompt and our new spin on showcasing the little things which motherhood brings into our everyday lives.

This weekend I've got a new boost of energy in my creative life and I'm pretty excited about it. Stay tuned for more news in the upcoming days!

goodbye 2013 | hello 2014 - the year of thriving

Another year is at its end. This one was a full of changes and challenges and I'm quite glad that in just a few hours it will be over. I'm ready for a new beginning.

In January I've started working full-time and it has been a huge change for my daily routine. Starting a new job, leaving the house in the morning and coming back around 6pm has been quite challenging for me as a mom who wants to do everything and anything in just 24 hours... Then in April I changed jobs and added 3+ hours of daily commute by car, train and bus to my routine. And then in October finally finding another job closer to home. On a lot of those days I've just felt like running on an auto-pilot (and I still do). I think that's a reason why I've chosen THRIVE as my one little word for 2014.

I'm hoping that 2014 will bring me more inner peace and that I will finally find some balance in the flow of the days.

2013 wasn't just about big changes for our family, it was also about trying new things and celebrating the little and big moments : both kids participated in triathlon races, we went to Czech Republic to see our family, then had my mom-in-law here for the summer... I really hope to get my 2013 racing post ready in a few days (fingers crossed that I will get to it).

So, my friends, that's it from me for this year.

Have a wonderful end-of-the-year celebration and I wish you all the happiness, love & strong health for the upcoming year 2014!

Cheers!

{this moment}. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. 

testing testing

I've got a spyder calibration tool for my computer for Christmas and after Ivo did the calibration, the colors seem so weird now. I have to get used to them, that's for sure. My printed pictures were always kinda off so that's why I wanted to make them right.

Talking about getting used to new things, I think I will have no problem of getting used to my new "toy"... I got a Nikon D610 and LOVING it!! I really can't wait to test it outside in a natural light, so far I tried to take just a few photos inside but already can see the difference of full frame camera. Let's the playing begin! :)

:: waiting for Santa ::

We get our gifts from Santa after dinner as per our Czech traditions. We go upstairs and look for any sign of his sleigh on the sky. The excitement was huge and the joy afterwards even bigger. Good times!
