Remember THESE cool bean bags? Here are a few from Woouf's 2013 collection that I love. What fun and quirky seats for the house. Which one would you want?

Camping! Hopefully Jachen and I can do some camping this summer with my family and hopefully we can start our own collection of gear {probably not this summer though?}.

Some camping gear I am drooling over right now that I would like to snatch up.

< Inspiring Spaces//Part 12 >

Each of these spaces are pretty special. Not only do I love the floor to ceiling wall of art in that bathroom, but I love the white and you can see a little peek of the bathroom's white chandelier. Looks like such a fresh bathroom. Would you do floor to ceiling art in your bathroom? Or anywhere in your house for that matter?

What a great men's bedroom...that guy has great taste. My favorite is the bed and the big pops of art. I would love to have a large piece of art.

I adore everything about this third space...the bench seating{I just forgot the name of those...bucket seats? buffet seats?}, the chairs and so in love with the wood round table. I am reallly into round dining tables right now. I am going to snatch one up when we get an apt in the States. I also love that there is a window in the space giving it so much natural light. I hope to live somewhere in the future with plenty of natural light. It makes such a difference!

AND I love a good record nook. Right now I am lazy about playing records...actually, technically the majority of our records have already been sent to the States...but even when they were here I didn't like having to switch several buttons on our sound system to get to the record player. It would be nice to have it all in a space of it's own and I could just flick it on. I sure love vinyl.

You are mine! And you sound great. Can't wait to get to know you and for you to become a part of my summer.

The album was set to come out today, but it had a sneaky release yesterday on iTunes. The sneaks.

< Happy Mother's Day >

Happy I got to see my mom today...via Skype of course. I realized today while Skyping family that Skyping is getting really old. Over 2 years of Skyping! Pretty crazy. But thanks to Skype it doesn't feel like we have been gone that many days. I just want to see people in real life on a daily basis again.

I am thankful for my mother. She has taught me many lessons over the years and I can think back to many great memories with her. I remember the night before my very first official job. I was so nervous. I was mostly nervous to use a cash register{I was starting a job at a scrapbook store}...and I remember crying about it. I get quite nervous and stressed about new things. I remember she held my head on her lap and told me it was going to be okay and that I was going to do great. I believed her, and she was right. I remember being very comforted by this loving act.

I also remember in high school my senior year I decided to add AP History to my schedule. That class turned out to be way harder than I had expected. I remember one night my mom was helping me with the homework and she was shocked at how hard it was and, with my permission, made the school switch me out of that class. I was thankful for her realizing I wasn't making up how unnecessarily hard it was and happy she stood up for me.

When Jachen first came to Seattle/the USA to meet my family...the first person he met was my mom. She hugged him right away and welcomed him genuinely and excitedly. This was Jachen's first memory of how welcoming and loving my family is. I am thankful for her showing love and acceptance so easily and promptly to Jachen. That's just the kind of person she is.

She supports, she encourages, she trusts, she teaches, she homemakes, she loves and she goofs around. She has been a mom for about 38 years now and is still going strong. She is also a great grandma to many lucky kids.

My newest favorite thing about her is that she has a Pinterest...I don't why but I think that is cute.

Love you mom.

< You Are My Wild >

I am in LOVE with the website, You Are My Wild. A bazillion awesome photos of 14 different photographers' children. These are some of my favorites, but like I said, there are tons more. It was hard to chose only a few. Aren't they great?!

These photos are exactly the type of photos I want to take of my children one day. In love.
