Good morning and Happy Monday!
I hope all of you had a great weekend and are entering into the workweek feeling rested and refreshed.
Or maybe you feel a little more like this?

Our weekend was a good one despite the fact that the Sister Hazel concert we were really looking forward to was postponed until June due to rain on Saturday night. At least we have something fun on the horizon now, right?
Breakfast
Fact: A cup of coffee makes any Monday a little more manageable!
I sipped on my coffee while I ate a bowl of cold and creamy overnight oats that I prepped after dinner last night.
I topped my oats with chiptole maple almonds from my latest NatureBox. (<—Affiliate link!)
The almonds added a little kick of spice and sweetness to the oats. A perfect Monday morning pick-me-up.
Photo Editing Software
I’m hoping for some advice from my photographer friends out there. I am thinking it may be time for me to invest in a quality photo editing software program and I am considering Lightroom or Photoshop Elements. (I’m also very open to other suggestions!)
Up until now, I’ve been using Picasa which is fabulous (and free!), but I feel like it can be a little limiting. I’d love to be able to amp up my photos a little more and would love to hear your advice. I don’t have a huge passion for photography, so I am looking for something user friendly but still awesome. Quite the criteria, huh? Please let me know what you think!

I have a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 that you can HAVE FOR FREE …. seriously not an April Fool’s joke.
Tell me where to mail and you can have it.
REALLY!!!!!
Lightroom is very user friendly without having to take classes and has a TON of possibilities. You can be as basic or as fancy as you want to be. I highly recommend it. Unlike photoshop you can go right in and start editing without tutorials and help. And if you do want to do something more advanced there’s a ton of youtube tutorials to help you out!
Ummm, I also LOVE NatureBox. We’re on our 2nd box now and can’t get enough of the Power Clusters – we’ve tried the Pistachio and Cashew so far. The Mango Almond Bites are really good too! Happy snacking!
Lightroom for what you need it for. Super simple. Scott Kelby writes the most fantastic, easy to understand books on adobe products.
