A Cup of Jo linked to this which was taken here and makes me want to die because I’m not there.
What I really need is a wealthy benefactor to fund my leisurely world travels so that I can loll around in beautiful places and take pictures and drink martinis or whatever. Call me!
I want:
One of of 10… not too bad, I guess.
It’s finally my turn to take part in sfgirlbybay’s awesome blog it forward project. The torch was passed to me from the lovely Evenstar Art yesterday. Check out today’s other posters: max and ellie, whitney english, the penny has dropped, jetkat design, once upon a chai tea latte, sparker, red bird style, and coeur de la !
childhood
I am constantly amazed and inspired by little kids and their view of the world. I think I want to be a four-year-old when I grow up.
books, in general, but especially young adult fiction

I don’t think there’s any way I would be the person I am today without books. I read almost constantly as a child, and YA fiction is still my favorite. A Wrinkle in Time, The Secret Garden, The Phantom Tollbooth, The Little Prince, Harry Potter, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Matilda, His Dark Materials, The Chronicles of Narnia… and on and on and on. I have read and re-read these books countless times, and they still can make me feel like the world is a limitless, magical place full of possibility and promise. (This is especially appreciated when eating a cup ‘o soup in your beige cubicle for the fifth time this week.)
blogs by awesome moms
Since having a kid, I find myself being inspired by the blogs of crafty, creative women who also have babies. I can barely manage to get out of bed in the morning and don’t ask me when the last time I vacuumed the living room was. But reading, for example, making it lovely and dos family and Mighty Girl and maganda, makes me feel like there’s a chance that even I could pull together the fantastic life of my dreams in between the joys and chaos of starting a small family.
music, always, but especially pretty girls singing amazing songs
Good music is the background to everything and the best kick-in-the-pants when I’m stuck in a rut.
nature, and the ocean in particular
I’ve always been drawn to the sea. My mom once went to a crazy psychic when I was little, and he told her that in a previous life we were fishermen. I normally don’t believe in crazy psychics and the crazy things they say, but this? This makes total sense.
Be sure to check out fabulous doodles on Monday! Behind the Red Door, one blue wren, come blow bubbles, red glasses, stephmodo, je voudrais que, the pretty shiny things, megan charland, and wild magnolia will also be playing along!
Our bedroom is a disaster.
Since moving to our new apartment a few months ago, we’ve mostly managed to get the rest of the place under control, but the bedroom? sigh. The bed’s on the floor, there are piles of clothes everywhere, and a messy computer desk is shoved into a corner. I can do better, I hope. This month, my goal is turn the bedroom into a cozy little paradise and a productive home office. I really have no idea where to start, but these are some bedrooms I’m loving right now, for inspiration…

I’m, uh, not really noticing any themes going on in the images, but… it’s a start, right?
I’m happy to be a part of the new blog it forward mashup started by the always lovely sfgirlbybay . The project starts this Wednesday and my turn is on March 12. Hopefully by then, I will have figured out what inspires me. Besides tacos. Mmm, tacos.
