happy friday

Happy Friday!

I know everybody says it, but I could really use a vacation after vacation! We didn’t get back from our beach trip until after 11 on Sunday night, and as a result I still feel like I’m playing catch up. We have definitely settled into a routine on Sundays, and I can’t believe how much I can get thrown off if we miss out on it completely. I’m definitely looking forward to spending this weekend at home getting organized and (re) refreshed after all the travelling.

Even though I was keeping up with the hustle and bustle of the week, I did manage to find some fun things on the Internets. Here’s some of my favorites:

+ I stayed up way too late one night this week reading this blog, and now I’m totally hooked.
+ I love this Cairn Terrier Instagram Feed, but this InstaPup takes the cake.
+ I’m tempted to decorate my entire house based on this place
+ 108 years of Herman Miller in 108 Seconds
+Even though I was Netflix-less for two trips, I managed to watch this entire first season in record time, PLUS I just found out that it’s based on a true story, with a book and everything! I think I may be reading that soon.

I hope you all had a lovely week and enjoy your weekend!

And happy, happy Friday. (Yes, I felt the need to say that a fourth time)

MoMA summer sale

July 23, 2013

Museum stores are totally awesome. I’ve even just gone into the store when I don’t have that much time to go into the museum to see all the unique and cool things they have for sale. It’s a great place to find cool books, fun toys, and even cool unique housewares. Unfortunately that high-design look can come with a high price tag. Fortunately, its the “end of summer sale season” (whew, say that 5 times fast) which means places are marking some serious discounts on their stuff, including the Museum of Modern Art’s Store.

Some of these things are still a bit on the pricey side, but here’s my top picks from MoMA’s sale:

2013 cottage highlights

July 22, 2013

canada sun set

Well, shoot, there goes another week long blog break…

Maybe things will start picking up around here again, eh? Speaking of eh, we got back from our trip up north last week and had an awesome time enjoying the PERFECT weather. B had never been up there when it wasn’t rainy and sweatshirts weren’t a necessity, so I’m glad he finally got to experience the cottage how it’s meant to be experienced.

Enough with the chit chat, on with the pictures: Continue Reading…

Hello there blog world.

I know. I just fell off the face of the (ether) earth there for a bit.

But I’m back now!

Well, for today at least, to brainstorm ideas for what goes over the bed in my still-in-progress bedroom makeover. Continue Reading…

30 before 30 update

July 2, 2013

 

I made this Thirty things before 30 list on my birthday last October, and I haven’t said much about it since. But don’t worry! Things are happening! I’m very aware of what is on that list, what I still need to do, and what I know now may not happen by October 2014….

But I thought I should give an update on the progress that has been happening with the list because I feel like I’m on a roll with accomplishing some of the things on here right now: Continue Reading…
