weekend favorites

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?
