Facebook, It's Not You - It's Everyone Else

June 15, 2017

Facebook is a great way to keep in touch and it’s really accessible, so people don’t hesitate to share where they are, who they’re with and what they’re doing. That made it really easy to interact with friends after I moved to Connecticut, I couldn’t meet up on a whim anymore, so I found some comfort in my newsfeed.

First Birthday Cake Smash

October 08, 2016

Maya was full of excitement for her first encounter with a birthday cake. In fact, she had so much fun that she didn’t get to eat much - I helped with that part.

Growing a Baby in 14 Seconds

December 28, 2015

Okay so, it didn’t really take 14 seconds, it was more like 42 weeks but my brother-in-law was kind enough to whip up this short video for me. I picked the song Natural Pearl by Murder by Death for the background music, their album Big Dark Love had just come out and the song seemed fitting.

How to start from seeds for a garden

July 04, 2014

Now that I have a spacious backyard I feel like I can experiment with growing my own vegetables.  It’s something I’ve always wanted to do and what better time than now?  I started by purchasing some heirloom seeds; I bought tomato, red bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, onion, basil, rosemary, spinach, lettuce and a few other things from Baker Creek.

Christina & Rob Dobi Wedding – Fairfield, CT

October 17, 2013

The weathermen called August 24th the most beautiful day of summer and it was. Rob and I said “I do” in the gardens of the Burr Homestead and then celebrated in a white tent surrounded by big old oak trees. We loved this spot not only for it’s beauty but because it’s just a few streets away from the Long Island Sound where we spend our weekends in the summer…

Christina Panarese & Rob Dobi - Engaged

July 28, 2013

Rob and I had an engagement shoot with our photographer, Collin Hughes to get some practice in before the wedding. We decided the hiking trail where Rob spent his entire childhood was a beautiful and sentimental location so we set out on a short adventure and gave Collin a little tour of the cascades.

2012 Resolution

December 30, 2011

I’ve found that setting a resolution for the new year has been effective in making me a better person so I put a lot of thought into what it is about myself that I want to work on.  These past few weeks have been pretty hectic inside and out so I’ve finally decided, my new year’s resolution is to be more patient – take things lightly and to have a more peaceful state of mind.

There IS a such thing as self-taught

December 20, 2011

I’ve always considered myself “self-taught” because I don’t have a formal education in design or development, it’s always been my hobby.  The other day I read that a developer/designer cannot be self taught because we’re always learning from each other and it made me question myself.  Is there a such thing as self taught?

Today is My Birthday

July 20, 2011

It got me thinking about how lucky I am to have so many friends who love me no matter what. I believe that a good part of me is a summary of everyone I’ve ever met and so I’m especially grateful to have so many wonderful people in my life. Thank you for having faith in me and teaching me new things, I’m looking forward to so much more.
