I know it’s not weekend for inspiration links but I think it’s ok to “brake” the rules and do whatever feels right at the moment. These are things which I’ve bookmarked in the last couple of days.
:: Project Kid: 100 Ingenious Crafts for Family Fun by Amanda Kingloff
:: The Habit Action List post
:: I’m going to give a try to this Warm black bean and corn quinoa salad
:: these yoga poses for a daily detox. I have to admit that since I’ve got back to yoga 5-6 weeks ago, I feel much better physically and mentally as well. Love the twist pose. My favorite one is to lay down on my bolster with legs up the wall for several minutes, it works magic!!
:: this abs workout by Bob Harper
:: I love love Ali’s simple way of storytelling
:: will be definitely trying these cookies found here

his & his. Thanks to the love for sport their bond is getting stronger by each day. The little man is looking up to his dad as his big inspiration and a great example of what can be accomplished when you set your mind up to achieving your goals.

Even though it’s gray and rainy outside, the inside of the house pops with color. All the bright tones just make me happy.

This photo is definitely my most favorite from the whole week. Just hanging (well, jumping) around with my favorite people at my favorite lake. Can’t get any better. Good times.
Favorite is the theme of the week over at Focus on Everyday. Check out what the other girls came up with.

Saturday was all about girls time. I started my day with Harmony taking photos of cherry blossoms and smashing my head into the lower branches of the tree (which was so much fun, btw!). I bet people living in the nearby houses had to have a few chuckles watching us taking photos over and over again and jumping on the grass like crazy. It was totally worth it and we had a blast. Repetition is hopefully coming soon!
And then after lunch I spent the whole afternoon with my most favorite girl in the whole world. Guys went to their bike race and I had an appointment with my dentist in Vancouver, so Katrin was my companion for the day. We spent a lot of time in the car but spiced up the whole trip in a girls’ way. Once I was done at my dentist and being close to my favorite store, I knew exactly what we are going to do. We went to Anthropologie. I love love the store. Just too bad the clothes are so expensive there. Last year I bought a few latte bowls (one is regularly $6 and I was able to score the beautiful blue/turquoise one for $2! on sale) and I promised Katrin that she can choose her favorite color and use it as her personal bowl for her morning cereal. First she picked a light orange one and at the end she changed her mind and bought a nice purple one.
She had her iPod with her and I told her that while I will be waiting in the line to pay for the stuff, she can explore the store and take some pictures. She was happy to do it and I just love what she captured! She took pictures of her favorite things she saw and had a really great time.
For myself, I got a little turtle jewelry box and a headband.
I’m really loving our girls’ times together. We always do something different and I know that our mom-daughter bond grows stronger with each of our little adventures.

As the days are getting longer and weather warmer, we spend more time outside so I know my weekend favorites won’t be on a regular basis for sure. I do these kind of posts mostly to have the interesting stuff marked down so it is easily accessible for me when needed. This means mostly for crafts and recipes. So here are a few of my favorites from this week:
:: I’m definitely going to make this headband
:: and maybe this one as well
:: I want to experiment with quinoa and this recipe for pizza sounds delicious
:: loving these tips from Sarah from My Four Hens Photography on how to take better portraits outside
:: such a great post on smiling while taking photos
:: really great post about strength and weakness
Hope your start of the new week is going to be awesome!
Until the next time, have a lot of fun!

Pausing for a few minutes before the craziness starts again.
Having fun with a dear friend.

Behind these curtains I step into a totally different world. World, where all the everyday worries and heavy thoughts are suddenly forgotten, even though just for a few precious minutes.
World, where I can relax and let my mind wander in joyful lightness…
…until the next deep breath…
I absolutely love my yoga classes. The studio is so calming and peaceful and our yoga teacher, Erin, is one of the most happiest, caring and loving people I’ve ever met. Her love for yoga shines through the whole class.
In the past few weeks I did therapeutic yoga and this week I attended a Hatha yoga class for the first time since 2010. I’m really looking forward to getting more deeply into yoga, not just to nurture my body but also my soul.
