Robyn Greenhouse

I'm a Late Bloomer!

Not the words any high schooler would shout with joy,

just me a middle age woman finding her way in life!


On my 45th birthday, something inside me remembered that I used to want to be a writer and a photographer. I had this dream that as I walked past a book store, there in the window would be piles of my hugely popular books!  It occurred to me to stop waiting. There would never be exactly enough time or just the right (write?) moment, so it was now or never. With that idea in mind, I started my blog, Adventures in Laughter. Living with 3 boys, 2 dogs, and 1 husband, there is usually something that gets my fingers tapping on the keyboard!

Along my path as a late bloomer, I also became a certified yoga instructor. I love the calmness practicing yoga brings me after a class. Besides, if for some reason I miss a few classes, my kids remind me to go to class! My son said it best when he told me one day, Mom, I like you better when you do yoga!

My photography is still a work in progress, but I'm having fun working on it








While I may not love the crow's feet around my eyes, or the sun spots that pop up (who knew tin foil and baby oil would be bad for you?)

I'm
following
my heart
and
loving it!

    1. Oh that dreaded tin foil! I guess I wouldn't have listened to anyone back then either!
