weheartit

Since the last offical week of summer is already here,

I'm attempting to make the most of this week and there's no better way to start than with some weheartit favs that just simply feel like summer. If you've been with me for a while here on Always Love, you know how much I love weheartit. There's just something so calming about perusing thousands of pictures.

Be sure to check back throughout the week as I'll be doing a recap of my wonderful summer!

Happy 5th

I hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekend and are eager to get back to the grind.

I didnt take very many pictures this weekend as I spent most of my time relaxing poolside,

but here are a few I snapped with my phone.

Homemade Strawberry-White Nectarine jam

Happy Monday! What's on your agenda for the week?

And suddenly,

it all makes sense

Snapshots

This photo and quote has been awfully thought provoking this Wednesday morning.

With the repetitiveness of day to day life, what does the bigger picture look like?

You  may have seen this post, and checked out some of the links to find this.

And because I own one of these:

I've set out to complete this work of art.

I'm no where near finished. Or even part way complete.

I want the overall picture (no pun intended) of this piece to include all sorts of snapshots.

(not to mention the film for this bad boy isn't cheap)

Hopefully by the time I move I'll have enough to fill a large frame

and have a beautiful statement piece to fill my living room wall.

Friday Favorites

This week has felt like the longest week. Then again I feel like I say that alot lately.

With working two jobs and other various after work activities,
I find myself reading or sleeping with little free time I do have.
Not to mention that after working 8+ hours on a computer a day each and every week,
the last thing I usually want to do when I get home is open up my laptop.

Which is probably why I find myself finishing this post Saturday morning...
As I work from two laptops and blog from another,
(Yes, thats three computers. I've become quite the multi-tasker...
multiple computers going at once is not unusual for me these days.)
enjoying a large cup of coffee, theres not much more that I want to do than
get up and go.
Hopefully these links are as inspiring and motivating to you as they are to me.

• Everyone loves a good organization secret. This is my favorite
• Both of these adorable treats are on my Mothers Day menu
• A perfectly refreshing summer treat
• I'm on the hunt for the perfect clutch...this is pretty darn close

• The source of my extreme inspiration on this beautiful morning

Friday Favorites

Friday for most people means a couple of work-free days of relaxation,

this Friday for me means a continuation of the work week,

with a pretty full work schedule.

Here are a few things that I hope to get me through the weekend

• This song quickly made it to the top of my playlist this week
• The perfect windows down, music up on a beautful day CD of the year
• Mosey around my Pinterest boards here
• Expand your spring wardrobe and shrink your wallet with Anthro's spring line
• Amazing take-your-breath-away photography

Also Happy 22nd to my dearest Jessalyn

Morning

The prettier portion of my 15 minute turned hour long commute yesterday morning.

White Weekend

I guess in January one should expect to see snow quite often.

Some mornings it's bothersome and unnecessary stress for the morning commute.

Luckily yesterday morning, I woke up to a plowed driveway,

cleaned off car, and was able to thoroughly enjoy the beauty of it. 

Here are a few shots from my morning.

Cotton Candy Skies

"you can never have too much sky. 

you can fall asleep and wake up drunk on sky, 

and sky can keep you safe when you are sad."

-Sandra Cisneros, House on Mango Street

The recent early frozen mornings and chilly winter nights have held such
gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. The first picture below is usually
the view when I leave work each night.

a few of my own....

 

& a few finds from the internet...

Taking a Moment

With 2011 right around the corner, 

Always Love is going to be a little different this week.

I want to take a look back over the past year so this week my tiny corner of the internet 

is going to be filled with just a few of my favorite photos from 2010.

It's snowing here on the East Coast 

on this cold Christmas morning.

I'm going to enjoy the day by our warm fire

with family and friends, reading, & watching movies.
