Ever fastidious in their routine, each day at 3pm the children put themselves away for naps.

In my mind, celebration has always been separate from reality - an alternate universe where people set aside the daily mediocrity to embrace a moment more special than the rest. But I cannot separate them this year. The celebration has seeped into my check deposits and spreadsheets and post-it notes and early mornings. It has spread into my bad news and long meetings. It has emulsified with my routine to the point that I cannot tell the difference between celebration and mundane anymore.
Hello 26. Hello marriage.
Well, hello 2011. Let’s take a good look at you. Hmm. Promising, yet full of giant life changes? I think I’ll need a little more than this energy smoothie (but it’s a good place to start).
Seriously one of the most beautiful compilations of food photography I have ever seen.
