The kids are on my case about Christmas, so Chris

The kids are on my case about Christmas, so Christmas it is!

The tree goes up tonight.

We're big on traditions over here, mostly because it takes the drudgery out of daily life.

Some of our favorites:
- making ornaments for the tree
- matching pajamas, sweaters and socks
- trying a new craft (soap making this year)
- taking a mini road trip
- watching a Disney movie marathon
- making a yearbook
- hosting huge holiday parties
- over thinking our gift list

What's one thing you MUST do to feel like you're in the holiday spirit?

Temperatures are slowly dropping in Texas, so you know what that means...

That's right, it's time to book a flight to warmer weather.

I know, I know: I talk about not using travel to escape your home. But every once in a while it's ok to escape the weather 😅

My body was just not built for shivering 😩

Are you a fan of winter, or will you be going on a hunt for warmth too?

Monday Mood: Some days we hustle. Some days we dance.

I'm looking forward to this week, and I'm not sure why.

I've got mountains of work ahead of me, major trips I need to finance, hard conversations to have, Yada Yada Yada.

None of it seems to matter. I'm just happy to be here.

Street photography, but make it in cramped quarter

Street photography, but make it in cramped quarters for hours on end at 30,000 feet.

Yea, I love to travel, but I don’t love traveling, if you know what I mean. I find it equal parts tedious and overstimulating.

There are trips I’ve skipped out on simply because it was more comfortable to stay in my well-controlled home, and I know I’m not the only one.

I’ve spent the past few years crafting a travel system that makes the transition from my home to my destination so much easier.

And part of that is taking pictures - aka doing something I love in the middle of something I don’t love.

Seen in the suburbs: a flash of beauty within the monotony.

I have this bad habit of only pulling out my camera when I'm "away."

Taking pictures of a desert seemed so much more satisfying than capturing a sunset over a man-made pond.

Now I realize I was taking pictures to make other people ooh and aah, instead of taking pictures that moved me in some way. Hello again, people-pleasing 🙄

Cheers to creating more photo art, both at home and away.

"Time and tide wait for no man." - Chaucer Perfec

"Time and tide wait for no man." - Chaucer

Perfectionism has had me waiting for the 'perfect time' to lean into my creative business for years. YEARS.

I'll post my "ok" pictures because I'm waiting until I'm a big deal to post the good ones.

I'll publish my watered-down articles because I'm waiting to have more readers for hard-hitting pieces.

Waiting to have more money in the account.
Waiting for the kids to be older.
Waiting for permission.
Waiting.

Well, I've waited. Let's try something a little different.
