Circus Performers

I'm in love with these images of circus performers taken during the 40's and 50's. I wish I could sit down and listen to all their stories. I may hate circuses but I love the idea of adventure.

Arrival of the Birds - Address is Approximate

On a whim I wanted to see if anyone had created anything with one of my favorites songs of all time, Arrival of the Birds by The Cinematic Orchestra. Well, they did... and it's pretty amazing. Grab a drink, turn the lights down, take a seat, and spend a few minutes seeing the world through a lonely toy's eyes.

Also pretty awesome, go to Rainy Mood and then play the song in another window. Amazing! I can't ever get enough of this song.

The Goodwin Project


I stumbled across The Goodwin Project through Elizabeth's blog The Littlest (who is partner to the The Flashdance). After living on the constant ebb and flow of the ocean in a lifestyle of simplicity and adventure, I'm always excited to see when people are chasing a similar quality of life. When I first started watching this I was in love with the filming style, editing, music, and words. Then I got jealous of the amazing adventure they're having, and then I became inspired that we have the ability to create whatever story we want to for our own family. It's something you just have to make happen, otherwise it'll slip away in complacency. 

They're traveling the world and documenting their story. Follow them by visiting their website here, and make sure to watch the below in HD. Mind blowing.


My children will have no youth spent experiencing a modern society through technology, instead they will explore the world around them through touch, smell, sight, taste, sound, and appreciation for the beauty it holds and the stories of the people that inhabit it.

Playlist for a Saturday

This playlist is so damn good! Mumford and Son's cover of Wagon Wheel? I'm going to be listening to it on repeat all day long. The cover of 99 problems may be a problem though in certain company, so don't play it around your grandmother. (Except mine, she's cool.)

8tracks delivers, once again.

Dribbble

I hadn't heard of dribbble before, but now I'm hooked. It's like a show and tell for designers, and you can browse tons of awesome work. It's perfect for finding inspiration for that next design, or finding someone to design it for you! Looks like I just found another way to procrastinate.... just what I needed.

Desert Morning


We went out to the desert with friends and spent the weekend relaxing. Even better, we didn't have to pick any cactus out of TBR. Score. He liked it out there, if you can't tell.

Finding Oregon


They just keep getting better and better. Which doesn't help my predicament at all. 
Missing Oregon again today, isn't she a beauty?
