These are the days...

 

Feeling a little stuck in the temporary world I live in. I'm a big fan of stability so life lately has left me feeling a little stagnant and uninspired.  This week I've stepped backed and looked for some new inspiration and some happy things to keep me going.  I've found so many fun things I thought that I would share them.

First off, I love this song.  I found it a few weeks ago and well, now it's on a mac commercial.  It happens to me all the time.  I'm thinking I missed my calling.  I was really meant to choose songs for commercials. It's called New Soul by Yael Niam

These girls have been really inspiring to me.  Each of the women in this photograph are facing major changes in their lives in the near future. Kelly has already begun the process and I'm so impressed with how they are each handling it all. Plus everyone should have people you can turn to and cry to and laugh with and email silly comments to, like the fact that they don't like bowling because it's means boys will be looking at their rear ends.  Only those weren't exactly the words used.  I love these girls!  And Kelly we miss you!

Much of my inspiration has come from time spent with these girls the last week watching girl movies.

So If you haven't seen North and South.  You must.  It's really good.

So is Northanger Abbey.

And if you like totally over the top cheesy romantic movies( I of course do) than you must go see 27 Dresses

However, stay away from Sydney White.  Seriously not even worth the rental fee.  Really I promise you.  And if you see it anyway don't say I didn't warn you.  Because I did.  Yes.  It's that bad. And not in the this movie is so bad it's good way.  It's just bad, in the bad way.

I found this photo of Sarah and I'm putting it on the blog because I really like it and that is the only reason.

In getting ready for PMA next week I've been looking at some of the vendors that will be there and man if these bags don't inspire you to carry your camera with you everywhere I don't know what will.

Hmm..what else.

Oh yeah, have you seen this? It's a link to Elsie's new book.  I was one of the contributors and it's been a while since I worked on it but the pages in that book are still some of my favorite. I think she came up with a great concept and the recipe card layout is really cute.

And last but not least I found this on flicker the other day and I cannot even say how inspirational these photographs and the journaling included are to me. A man named Joey Harrison has posted the photographs and journaling of his Mother.  She made photography her hobby when she was newly married and her photographs are so endearing and nostalgic.  It made me realize that even though there is great paper and fun embellishments out there and it is easy to be distracted by them.  A great photograph and a few words can really capture life.  I was mesmerized by her story and spent a whole evening learning about her.  What a great gift to give her son. One that I hope I can give my own.  Plus it reminds me to capture more everyday moments.

OMYGOSH Candice...I just got LOST in those Flikr photos and captions for over an hour. I have to do this with all my moms pre and post war photos. Thank you so much for posting this link to Chalet's world, it has given me much needed inspiration. ;-)

1st off... your so beautiful and 2nd your photography is amazing!

[Sarah]

Oh, hi face. I'll let it slide since there are very few pics of me I like and the ones you took, I actually like. Of course, all the credit goes to you. ;)

Those old photos are awesome!! Love how she wrote about each one! Thanks for the links. And for being a wicked cool friend. :)

North and South... My all time favortie movie. I own the DVD boxed set. I remember watching this movie hundreds of times when I was in grade school. My grandfather was a civil war reenactor and you can see him on the screen close up for several seconds during a battle scene. It made me love the movie so much and hooked me on Swayze!

What inspires you is a reflection of your inner beauty. Your willingness to share it with the world a refelction of your generosity. Your courage and fortitude will be the strength you and your family thrive with. Remember, everything you need, you already have within you. THank you.

[Ashli Wilson]

Just happened on to your site. so fun to get updated and see your cute family. Still in Utah?? We need to chat and get together

I really liked Sydney White. I thought it was funny- considering it is a teen romantic comedy. The $1 Redbox fee was well worth it! I will have to watch those other movies. Haven't even heard of them!

Most people will listen to your unreasonable demands, if you'll consider
their unacceptable offer.

I've been following you on Pinterest and I have just now discovered your blog for the first time. LOVE North and South and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Northanger Abbey. It was my favorite book in high school. I'm definitely a swoony Catherine type. Have you seen Lost in Austen? Another favorite.
