oh my! so i just discovered this new blog via a facebook connection. spoon fork bacon.  it looks like it just began about mid june. it was created by photographer Teri Lyn Fisher and food stylist Jenny Park. the food looks amazing. the recipes look simple. and the presentation is stunning. an instant favorite! take a minute to check it out. though it was tough to choose, here are some of my favorites...

snapshots of life

hey all! yes, i'm still alive and well.

i've been a bad blogger. and to be honest i can't even explain how much i miss it. lately is seems like there just aren't enough hours in the day? do you know what i mean? i'm going to take some time to look at my schedule, do things differently, rearrange somethings... i really need to find my way back.

in the meantime i wanted to share some photos with you. last week was my birthday and i got an iphone. let me tell you this little piece of technology surpassed my highest expectations. ah-mazing! seriously, drop what you are doing and go get one. you can thank me later.

one of my favorite apps is instagram. and if you are following me on Facebook you've probably already noticed my obsession. it the coolest little program that magically edits photos to look, in my opinion, a million times better.

so, enjoy! if you have an iPhone you can follow my instagram feeds at inspiredbycharm. and if you don't have an iPhone you can see all my pics on Facebook.
