spilled milk | sleep

Popping in this morning to let you know the SPILLED MILK photos are up. This week's theme is "sleep"...you know, that thing we all desire more of, but seem to get very little of. This image was  snapped while Cecilia snoozed during our morning walk last week. Between the sunshine and her teeny snoring sounds, I was on cloud nine. This kid melts my heart! 

my bookshelf | pure green mag

There's a corner of my home where a stack of books/magazines pile high and manage to collect dust bunnies around the binding. I thought it was about time to share some favorites and a few I surely find inspiring. To me, there's nothing like curling up with a good read at the end of the day. 

I mentioned Pure Green a while back, but decided to purchase a copy in the flesh.  Honestly, like most magazines, the print issue made my jaw drop. Really, the images are stunning! Volume 5, The Wanderlust issue, is packed with images from around the world...some of my favorites to be exact!

What I adore about Pure Green...

     1 | You know how I love a good round-up, right? PG nails it on the head, several times.

     2 | Food...I LOVE food and recipes I can actually make. With several in vol 5, I'm                

          particularly fond of Samosas on by 68.  (Image above)

     3 | The photography. Enough said.

     4 | Pure Green is all about living while sustaining our planet's beauty and well being...more than

          enough reason for me to read. 

Have a look for yourself! Enjoy and let me know if you pick up a copy. I'd love to know what you think!

blooming | cherry blossoms

Just about every morning C and I take a long walk together to soak up as much sunshine and fresh air we can squeeze into one day. I have to say, last week was extra special. While I've admired everyone's spring photos around the web, 60 degree days and blossoms take a bit longer to show face in my neck of the woods. But last week, almost over night, everything was in full bloom and radiating in the morning light. It made for an extra special morning walk with my little lady.

friday faves

Sorry it was a bit quiet around here this week, but spring is officially in western NY and I'm crazy about it! The magnolias and cherry blossoms are finally in full bloom and the sun is shining everyday. It just didn't seem right to be behind the computer this week, you know what I mean? Baby girl and I have been snapping photos along the way I hope to share them with you as well as a diy and recipe we tried this week. I hope to see you all back here on Monday!
