We had a few nice days over the past week and took full advantage of them by hitting up our favorite parks and opening the windows. (Mabrey laughs hysterically every time I give her an “unnerdoggie” on the swings. Pure happiness.) I almost forgot what it was like to breathe fresh air. It looks like we will survive another winter after all. Spring is so close! We are so ready!
A few links that stuck with me…
*Goodbye garbage house. H-E-L-L-O dream house. (I love all the well-placed windows.)
*A unique space that feels stylish yet not overdone.
*Note to self: an amazing loft studio makeover.
*Haven magazine volume one is now available! The print is based in Cincinnati, Ohio, and all volume one profits go to Freeset, an organization in Kolkata, India, helping women who have left or escaped sex trafficking.
*How to take successful interior photos, part 1 and part 2. (Thanks for sharing your secrets, Alison!)
*The most practical travel makeup bag. (I use a similar, larger version for the kids’ Legos.)
*Esther’s perfectly imperfect parenting confession:
I find myself comparing to other mothers who are so productive and “successful” doing so many things while having even more kids than I have, although I know it’s okay to do less and live slower but sometimes I just feel “lazy.”
I can relate.
T minus 4 days until spring!
