    Love this post, love all your posts, but this ones great!
    My goal for 2012 is to take a picture every day, to document my life better.
    That’s what you do very well! Any suggestion for a project to achieve that goal?
    Best wishes for 2012 to you and Paul ofcourse!

    I did get the DVD and have done is a few times. It is a great workout, but I am having a really hard time staying focused after getting used to the class. I really struggle with motivation on DVDs compared to classes.

    thanks! that wall is up in Ventura – sort of near main street, I think. And the app is instagram. I printed the photos so they were about 1.5×1.5 inches at home. 🙂

    I love Flipboard, Kindle for iPad and Pinterest. If you have a netflix instant account, the iPad is great for watching movies through their app too. Hope that helps!

    I discovered your blog just last month (or just last year, I guess) and love all your photos. Especially your grey striped walls. And your turquoise dresser. And your DIY projects. Or maybe it’s easier to say I love everything on your blog?
