first grade flashback

Yesterday was bring-your-friend-to-work day (as well as pajama day) for Mrs. Dangelo, and I had the honor of teaching her first graders how to draw pet portraits! It was so much fun and the kids did SUCH a great job.  They watched me draw Bunky (Nicole's cat) on the smart board and then they went around the room and told us what animal they were going to draw.  They were just so excited!  It was also really cool to see my friend in action.  The way she runs her classroom and interacts with the kids was so inspiring to watch.  Below is some of the artwork (my favorite is the Elf on the Shelf).  Too cute! 

Happy Christmas Eve everyone!  I hope everyone has somewhere to be and people to see.

interior inspirations: stick pose

Today we had a snow day in New York so I got to wake up and start my day with the lovely Adriene.  I really do love waking up early and doing my yoga before going to work, but lately I can't seem to get in bed early enough to not wake up late and be in a complete rush in the morning! Today was definitely a healthy balance of work and yoga.   Everyday should be like that.

Day 12 and lucky day 13 were all about realigning the spine and building endurance.  We sat in stick pose for a second so of course my brain went right to my new stick decor!  Sounds weird.. but it looks great!  I've got branches on the brain!  I love when my yoga practice can relate back to my art and design work.  Keeps me inspired.
