The Senses Five

Camping with the Bub, my Misch and friends… I love this grainy film picture. Thanks Joan.

Well rested, relaxed, flawless, sans make-up. I long for this. Is it genes? Is it food? Is it lifestyle? Can I buy it in a bottle?

I can’t get enough of this cute Australian family. If you aren’t already an avid follower of Rummy Bears, you will be now.

I’ve noticed a big change in the blogs I follow these days. Although I do still occasionally check out Garance and fellow fashion bloggers, I’m not as into the mindless “here’s what I wore today.” Don’t get me wrong, my love of fashion has not changed, just how I consume it. I guess watching the rat race to be hip is not that appealing, but watching a new mama cafe hop is. It’s similar to the feeling I had when I realized I couldn’t shop in the junior section of a department store anymore.  I’m just over it.

Don’t simple bedrooms just make you want to just crawl right into bed. I long for a clutter free room. An escape from the chaos. A solution must be found. What’s that, where will all my clothes go? Not scattered all over the room. Where will Bub’s pocket junk go? Not on the dresser. A change is coming. Wish me luck…

I wish I was having brunch at farm 225 this weekend. Although I’ve never been, this is one of those places you just know will be great. Real food, farmed and made by real people. Go read their philosophy and take a look at the current menu and you will agree. I hope everyone gets at least one delicious meal this weekend!

I love these kid friendly terrariums. What a great way to get the wee ones greeen thumb started and add a little life to their room. Or add a little quirkiness to anyone’s home. I’m thinking about making my own Jurassic themed terrarium for the office or guest room, it could go next to the mannequin head…
