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

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!

Happy Sunday sunny morning, everyone! Even though the roofs are white and there is fog outside, the sun is shining through and it calls for a beautiful day. It seems there are quite a few rainy days ahead so we will definitely enjoy today outside.
I had problems with signing to my blog this week due to some wordpress issues but it’s fixed now so I can blog once again. I came across a lot of inspiration this week and here are a few of my favorites:
:: simple green smoothies are going to host a 30-day green smoothie challenge in April. I would love to start making more smoothies so this seems like a perfect way to start.
:: I got my stuff for a wrap bracelet on Friday. I’ve seen several bracelets online in the stores but boy, are they expensive. So I’ve decided to give it a try and make my own. I’ve created a board on my pinterest called wrap bracelets and now I have to find out the easiest tutorial.

:: why being a mom is enough post by Rachel at finding joy
:: these project life cards by Karla Dudley. After my craft space reorganization last week, I think I’m ready to get back to my PL now.

:: adding this yoga bolster to my wish list. We used them in yoga class every week and they are amazing! My lower back always thanks me for the stretch.

The coffee is almost ready. Have a wonderful day!

Photography is a huge part of my life. I love to capture our life through the lens. I also love to go through photography books and get inspiration and tips how to improve my way of taking photos. I have a few books at home and some on my wish list as well. Here are some of my favorite:
:: Elevate the Everyday by Tracey Clark – this was my firs photography book I bought. I’ve been following Tracey’s blog for a few years now and admire her sense for capturing the little details of everyday life.

:: Expressive Photography by Shutter Sisters – this is a collaborative book of the Shutter Sisters. Again, the little details of everyday life photography are just amazing. There are so many little corners and details at your home that you pass several times a day but I bet you’ve never stopped and just looked at them in a different angle.

:: A Beautiful Mess Photography Book by Elsie Larson and Emma Chapman – I got this book for Christmas and haven’t got through the whole book.

:: Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson – Bryan explains in a very simple way the technique of taking photos, how to set up your camera and what settings to use where and when. The book is full of beautiful examples with description.

:: A Year of Mornings:: 3191 Miles Apart by Maria Vettesse and Stephanie Congdon Barnes – this is the only book I don’t own from today’s list and is on my wish list. Maria and Stephanie has a collaborative blog called 3191 miles apart and the book is a beautiful summary of their collaborative work.

Do you have a favorite photo book? If yes, please share with me.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

This week I came across a lot of amazing blog posts.
:: like this one from Andrea Scher You are beautiful. I love her powerful story and how honest this whole story is. It is also a part of Susannah Conway’s The (delicious) truth about getting older series. So far I’ve read stories from Andrea, Tracy Clark, Liz Lamoreux and Ali Edwards and I’m looking forward to reading the rest of those brave and inspiring stories.
:: this one from Rachel about 20 things she will never forget to do with her kids. So many of those things hit the home and made me realize that I need to slow down and enjoy more the little everyday stuff.
:: this video: a letter to a person on their first day here by SoulPancake
:: we are in need for a new carpet under our coffee table and I’ve had my eye on this rug for quite some time. I love West Elm and their style!

:: and I think this coffee table would go perfectly with it as well. I actually saw it in person when I was in the store last time and loved it so much.

When I worked in downtown in Vancouver, I went to the West Elm store so many times to find inspiration (and to Anthropologie as well). I just wish the furniture and accessories were a little bit cheaper there.
:: love all the mornings like these photos. so creative.
:: totally in love with lauren rosenbaum’s photography. this is exactly the kind of photography I like, spontaneous everyday moments.
Is there anything what has caught your eye this week?
