film: a boy and his oar

I just picked up some film. These shots were taken at dusk so the light isn't the best, but I love them anyway.
Felix still takes a bath on the kitchen counter in his primo tub.  He gets to choose a wooden spoon each time, something he loves to do. What he doesn't love is the fact that we have to take it away when the bath is over. Those moments are always a little tricky.

Hope you're having a good day.

daily ritual: satisfying my sweet tooth

maybe it is pistachio baklava (love that stuff) or a pastry from the bakery down the street. or it could even be as simple as a piece of dark chocolate. whatever it ends up being, it happens daily. and for now I'm okay with that. :)

more daily rituals can be found here. join in if you like.

things I like: tillandsia

Feeling like I might want to give some tillandsia another try. I'm seeing these little air plants everywhere lately. I like these from toHOLD.

I had an air plant a couple of years ago that didn't do so well, which was baffling since they are supposed to be the easiest things ever. Perhaps my green(ish) thumb is only good with potted plants?

favorites from the weekend

 
my boy loves cauliflower. loves it.


dustin spent the weekend in montreal (lucky!) and his mom was kind enough to fly in to spend the weekend with us. we drank wine and watched felix learn to crawl. not in that order. we also ate lots of good food. udon...pizza with broccoli rabe and tomato...tacos and gaucamole...gelatto...raspberry tart...


delicious. and there is one more piece waiting for me when I have my next cup of tea. can't wait.


I had to do some early packing because our little bookworm can not be stopped! the destruction has started. Now I understand why people with small children don't seem to have many books.


beets!


and finally, a good soak before bed. one of these days I will get to have one too.

nighty night,
