Photo of the week: Hey there!
Hi friends, here’s my ‘Foto der Woche‘. This is my Glücklichmacher #34:
Hey there! (taken August 24, 2014)
I spent the weekend at a pony farm with my sister and the kiddos. We had the best time ever! The kids loved the ponies and I got to ride again myself, too! I was so excited. This little guy was super curious and I just loved how this pictures turned out.

Photo of the week: Santa Monica Beach
It’s Wednesday again! Did you have a good week? I had a really hard time picking my ‘Foto der Woche‘ this week. I took a bunch of pictures this last week and here’s my Glücklichmacher #32:
Santa Monica Beach (taken August 11, 2014)
I spent the last weekend down in Southern California with a dear friend and we just had a wonderful time hanging out at the beach (separate weekend recap in the works!). Part of me really wants to move back to the ocean. It’s just so magical to live close to it!
