about me
Welcome to my blog, my name is Lindsey aka modchik. A former Operations Manager with a strong desire to CREATE. In 2009 I decided my 9-5 job wasn't working for me (or my two kids). I traded my calculator for a camera and began building a blog. By the end of 2010 modchik-photography happened. I have a penchant for good recipes, strong coffee, iPhoneography, mid-century modernism, fashion trends, astrology and Pinterest. I get to talk about all of that here. I promise you'll never be bored.

Oh brother, where are the shortcuts? I need em. Shortcuts are my secret weapon, not only … Continue reading
Back to Basics – Coach’s Oats
Today is Day 1 of my 100 Day Challenge but you know that already right? Did I tweet too much about it yesterday? Sorry… I wanted to find out if there were any other fellow tweeps that were also starting the journey and all I heard back was *crickets*. I did however get a few emails this morning asking for the group code which I think is pretty damn exciting. More people taking steps to make a commitment of excellence I can’t wait to … Continue reading
