Egypt

Last year.. yes last year around this time we were making our way out of Egypt. It was a a great trip, spiritual and full of gorgeous historic mosques. Some of my photographs from the trip

Al Azhar 
The beautiful interiors of Al Azhar Mosque, Cairo's first mosque. The lights turned off and the sun's light the only light illuminating the sacred space creates a serene ambiance.

The beautifully carved wooden door at the entrance of the Al Aqmar Mosque in Cairo, Egypt. 

The long beautiful arch filled walkway inside the historical Mosque of Ibn Tulun in Cairo, Egypt.

Minaret
In the outer courtyard of the historical Mosque of Ibn Tulun in Cairo, Egypt. The tall minaret visible in the distance.


A beautifully carved mustard wood door with an olive green decorative trim stands out against the bright white walls of Malik al Ashtar's Shrine in Cairo, Egypt.

Kitchen and Family Room: New Flooring

When the wall between our family room and kitchen see details here came down we had to deal with two different flooring, old carpet and newish laminate. The plan was to find the same laminate.. we found the box in the basement, how hard could it be? Harder than we thought.. that particular one had been discontinued.. and finding something similar was not an easy task..  Finding a flooring that was kind of close but not close enough would seem like a mistake.. so we decided to go different, this way it would seem like an intentional design choice.. I had always wanted a chocolaty dark floor..

The first two teams found the sticker in the first try... what are the odds!? And the third team had to eat a lot of snacks before they finally found their sticker. Third Task I bought 48 piece puzzles from the Dollar Tree. The boys took their time making
