They are only little for a little while.
I love the monkey-like expression on Owen's face in this last one!

I have been finding so many wonderful things lately! All that I have found and gathered has inspired a whole mess of new blog posts which I will be rolling out soon. In the mean time, here is a small (small) sampling of what I found this week, and last. Enjoy!
Oh Martha Stewart you crazy beautiful b*%#h. Why is everything you make and do so perfect? I can always trust that if I follow one of your recipes it will turn out just perfectly. As I am so very sure that you are a perfectionist, I pray that you also have some fun! I sure did while making and enjoying your recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies and Vanilla Tea Cake from Martha Stewart Living.
My dear friend Sonja and her wonderful husband Todd have been doing to awesome personal work. I love it when we dive deeper into our own selves! She sent me a values questionnaire which I will be answering soon.
Brendan is now 2 years and 7 month old, what!? He is so full of Coyote energy, always getting into trouble and being very creative in his play. Nate found this article on messy play. We are going to get messy, on purpose, soon.
Ayurveda is clear in its care for breast feeding mamas. I have been doing my best to incorporate these suggestions into the mix.

Intuos creative stylus. I really want one!
A Daily Something blog so lovely and kinfolk-esque. Rebecca's blog is becoming one of my favorites - I have definitely added it to my collection. Thanks Rebecca!
European design blogs like Fantastic Frank (how cool is that name?). Some are out of my league style wise, but I love. Some favorite theme findings I am seeing: soft greys, white, the ocean, natural light, splashes of color, natural elements and of course, Kinfolk.
Lattes. I've been having a really strong craving for lattes. Nate's new coffee making geek-ery tools. New bowls from anthropologie, a desire for a vacation in France?
Madwell brand clothing specifically the oversized shirt look. Oh comfortable clothing, I swoon for you.
I love granola. I always want to buy it. I eat it really quickly. Then I am sad. So I finally decided to make some at home. This is what I did. It's good.
Ingredients 3 cups organic oats 1/2 cup each raw cashews, almonds and coconut flakes 3 tbs brown sugar 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp turmeric a big 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup honey 2 tbs maple syrup 2 tbs coconut oil
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Preheat the oven to 300. Prep a big cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix oats, cashews, almonds, coconut, sugar, cinnamon, turmeric, and salt.
In a small saucepan, heat honey, maple syrup, and coconut oil slowly over medium heat. Mix. Let cool a little. Pour over and mix into oat mixture. Spread it all out on the cookie sheet.
Put in the oven for 40min, stirring it every 10min or so. When it's all golden brown and beautiful take it out. Let it cool. Mix in cranberries. Serve however you like it. We like it with yogurt and honey from our bees. Store in a big mason jar for future a breakfast or afternoon snack.
We finally had some sun here in Portland so we went to the woods to celebrate, breathe deeply, and feed the fire by getting our hearts pounding. The result rosy cheeks and smiling faces + tired babies. It was so nice to explore, just us and Coco. Kelly Butte is kinda our secret spot in the woods. Here is a little article that came up after a google search, interesting, mysterious.
Localmilkblog.com and a recipe for vegan(izable) chocolate truffles. The blog is gorgeous, blogger Beth Kirby's writing in poetic, image invoking and inspiring in a sort of exotic i-can-see-your-dreams kind of a way. I'll be checking this one out on a regular basis for sure. I went to Whole Foods yesterday and got all the ingredients to make the truffles. Beth describes them as "sensual pleasures that are good for you, that build you up, are basically the holy grail of pleasures...Old power. Deep roots that tend on down. These are bites that taste of the way the world is stitched. They taste like good karma, like floating in the milky way." That is beautiful. I'm so excited to try them out!
In February's Food and Wine magazine (thanks Casey for the subscription!), I came across a receipt for cultered butter that I'd really like to try. It seems easy enough - famous last words. I'll show you what happened when I do.
Portland Apothecary I really love the word "apothecary" but this site is clean, beautiful and really makes me want to spend time outside wildcrafting and mixing healing herbs. I've been enjoying and getting inspiration from the beauty of the site. The products are expertly formulated and I would be proud to display in my own kitchen apothecary (which is still in a box in the garage from our move, pity).
ah Paris I get really excited about fashion exactly two times per year, once in the fall with New York Fashion week and once in the Spring with Paris Fashion Week. I love Paris in the Springtime, don't you?
The Animal Print Shop. Adorable! Art for the nursery/little kids room.
More next week. I'm really enjoying collecting!
