HAPPY WEEKEND!



Hey everyone!  We hope you have a swell weekend, we sure are ready to enjoy a little time off together again.  We're so excited that in less than a week, we'll finally be on the road to Michigan to enjoy music, art, sustainability (and LOTS of hooping) at the Electric Forest Festival.  Until our departure, we'll be busy trying to round up lots of camping supplies and spending as much time with our little before she stays on a 5 day excursion at Grandma's house. ;)

A few things we think you should see this weekend:

• Where we'll be spending most of our time at EFF
• 21 pictures that will restore your faith in humanity
• How to make the most of the silly things that children do.
• It's almost too much cute to handle over at Tam's blog.
• Making sushi can be something fun for the kids too!
This gentleman's work is so ridiculously awesome it hurts.  So good.
• Any of my single friends, if you haven't read this column you're missing out!
• And finally, though you may have seen it- it's still one of my favorite posts from this girl.

Talk to you soon, friends!

the birthing of alba mae

From the beginning, this pregnancy seemed so much the same, yet so distinctly different all at once. I didn't get sick, I wasn't too turned away by my favorite foods, I had occasional heartburn here and there and overall, was able to relax and enjoy the experience.  What was strange was how differently I was carrying - having been told more times than I could count that I had looked as if I had "swallowed a basketball".  I think I was persuaded a few times in my head that maybe this was  different, maybe it really was a baby boy.  Yet still, in my heart I had an overwhelming intuition I would be holding another little girl in my arms, someone so very similar to her sister yet so distinctly different all at once. My little may flower. Saturday night, the air was warm and sticky.  Sofia, Erick and I read stories by a big window fan in her room trying to distract ourselves from the heat in our upstairs apartment. ...
