  Seen on the parking lot while waiting for our car to be repaired. Must be the practice car. Daily Snap - 07.10.12 | by Andrea Mulder-Slater

Lately, the 3 year old has been worried about getting bigger --- as in: "If I get bigger, I won't be able to sit on my dad anymore." Stay small kiddo. Daily Snap - 07.09.12 | by Andrea Mulder-Slater

It was a sideways rain kind of day yesterday. Mid-afternoon (while in town) the world went from sunny to scary in a matter of seconds. Geoff was caught on his bike somewhere out in the ridges while Jan, the girl and I were flooded in our downtown studio. Then, as fast as it came - it was over. Until later that day when (while at home) I looked out the window to see this. Daily Snap - 07.08.12 | by Andrea Mulder-Slater

There's just something about kids and puddles. Mine would sleep in one if I let her.  Daily Snap - 07.07.12 | by Andrea Mulder-Slater

The workshop was a success. The students had a great time and Geoff discovered that in China, lilies represent purity. Good choice of flowers, right? Daily Snap - 07.06.12 | by Andrea Mulder-Slater

  Tomorrow, Geoff is teaching a group of piano students how to paint with watercolors. Most of the students are from China and will be attending the workshop with an interpreter. It'll be a learning experience for all involved... Daily Snap - 07.05.12 | by Andrea Mulder-Slater

I took this photo yesterday while on a late night run to the studio to grab a pile of painting trays. I don't know if it was a new moon, blue moon, full moon or harvest moon, but either way, seeing it  filled me with a sense of calm and peace. And that's no joke.

Geoff was cutting the lawn this morning when a tiny bit of movement caught his eye. And so, this little hopper lived to see another day. Mind you, the 3-year-old won't rest until she finds him - again and again and again. No comment on Geoff's shirt. Daily Snap - 07.03.12 | by Andrea Mulder-Slater

We combined 1 cup of peanut butter and 1 egg with 1/2 cup of sugar.  Then, we rolled a bunch of little balls, laid them on a tray, flattened them with a fork and baked the cuties at 325 for 20 minutes. When I asked my daughter how they tasted, her reply was, "They taste like peanut butter and yum!" Aw yeah.   Daily Snap - 07.02.12 | by Andrea Mulder-Slater

After years of resisting, I finally made the leap. Goodbye PC, hello Mac. All was well, until I broke my Mac. What's that? Mac's are indestructible? Yeah... no. I broke my Mac. Before I began using it. Fortunately, a technician named Jeff revived the beast from the dead. Over the phone no less. Insert glory-glory music here. Daily Snap - 07.01.12 | by Andrea Mulder-Slater

The day began with Jan, Geoff and I working feverishly to transform a wood panel walled basement into accommodations fit for a world class pianist. No matter the question -  colorful bowls are the answer. Always. Daily Snap - 06.30.12 | by Andrea Mulder-Slater

The dinner plates were cleared away and then... the dessert board appeared. Blueberry pie, chocolate cake, caramel pudding, strawberry shortcake. Though she had never before tried it, my daughter knew exactly what she wanted on this day.  "Shtrawberry shoatcake!"  Dig in little one.Dig in. Daily Snap - 06.29.12 | by Andrea Mulder-Slater

It's a hectic morning. Computers are crapping out. Shipments need to be sent. It's her father's birthday and I am praying for her to have a nap. Ten minutes, that's all I'm asking. Then, comes the question. "Mommy, can I paint? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaase?" Um. Yes. Yes you can. Daily Snap - 06.28.12 | by Andrea Mulder-Slater

Snapped behind a building in an industrial area of the city. Should we all be afraid? Daily Snap - 06.27.12 | by Andrea Mulder-Slater

  Sometimes the smallest hands hold the most power. She may have her daddy wrapped around her finger, but today, she was the one with the tightest grip. Daily Snap - 06.26.12 | by Andrea Mulder-Slater

There was a small Fisher Price incident today when the fire truck tried to get fresh with the school bus. Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street... Daily Snap - 06.25.12 | by Andrea Mulder-Slater

When you live in a construction zone, you find odd things in your yard. I've become somewhat obsessed with PicMonkey and so -  because love is not enough - I've decided to issue a challenge (to me and me alone). The challenge is to post a photo a day from here on in. Until I die. Or until I lose interest. This is the first day of the rest of my life.  Daily Snap - 06.24.12 | by Andrea Mulder-Slater
