thursday morning

there's not a lot i want these days.
today i just want to remember.



today i just want to remember.

olive at two. 
trying on her independence.
trying on clothes.
not needing clothes.
red hat her necessary accessory.

today i just want to remember.

the rays of sun on an cool, autumn morning. 
the light bouncing through the trees.
the dew on the cobwebs that formed overnight.
the quiet of a house just waking up.
the shine coming off the faucet at a sink full of dishes. 

today i just want to remember.

the round face toddler asking to sit on the counter.
obsessive.
it's all she wants.
perspective.
she wants to see.
to see what we see.
to be part of what we do a few feet higher.

is it different up there?
can i be a part of your morning?

nothing special.
but it's all so special.
our thursday morning.






i feel a change a comin

inspiration has been a bit lacking lately. but who has time for inspiration these days. i barely have time to shower. 

do i attribute the recent resurfacing of inspiration to the change in seasons? that would definitely seem typical for me. maybe i'm finally feeling myself again after having these last two babes the past two years. whatever the reason, i'm thankful it's here because i feel like we've missed each other & have so much catching up to do. so now comes the change. change everything.

current inspirations... 

(fridge organization dreaming!! y'all should see my ocd amazon cart right now.)




again with the haunting questions of style. what's my style. do i have one. do i have to have one. can i only have one. if i have more than one, does that mean my style is eclectic. so is that actually my style. most of the time i don't feel like my "look" is cohesive. like one day i'm down with wide legs & tucked in shirts & the next day i want all the kimonos. is that even allowed. what does it all meeeeaaaannnn.
