Stormtrooper Father and Son

Even stormtroopers love their children. Check out more photographs by Kristina Alexanderson. (It's' all minifigs, all the time around here lately.)

For My Brother

Wish you could come home.

Crooked Forest

The mysterious Crooked Forest in Poland. Maybe the people who did this to the trees were planning on building crooked houses with them. In other crooked house news, the ceiling in Luke's bedroom started leaking heavily onto his bed last night during a rainstorm.

Mothers and Daughters

I like to zone out and look at  the mesmerizing images on Angela Walters's beautiful Mothers and Daughters pinterest board while my own little daughter tugs at my arm and begs me to play with her. (I usually snap out of it when she starts bellowing "HELLOOOO!? MOMMY!? Anybody HOME!?")

Happy First Day of Fall

Go to Mrs. Fox's Autumn Days and Cosy Nights board on pinterest to get in the mood.

For My Mother: The Art of Clean Up

 

My mom likes to arrange things just so. She would like this new book The Art of Clean Up by Swiss artist Ursus Wehrli. (The book doesn't appear to be available on Amazon yet but I'll link it as soon as it is.) Apparently this is a follow-up to Wehrli's book Tidying Up Art, in which he takes messy scenes from famous works of art and, well, tidies them up.  Like so:

I'd like to invite this man over to my house. Via swissmiss.

Free Printable Polaroid Photo Project

Camie Dyess created this as a birth announcement but I think it would work well with all sorts of photos. She is sharing the printables and DIY instructions for free at Fresh Baked. Via l'il magoolie.

Tell Me

On my facebook and twitter statuses the other day I jokingly misquoted this as "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your ONE WILD AND PRECIOUS HOUR TO YOURSELF?" Other moms understood.

But I do love the real Mary Oliver quote and isn't this photo by Ez of Creature Comforts, so pretty? She should sell prints. This would be nice in the kids' room.

I found that image on pinterest. Come follow me there! I'm having a lot of fun with my good words board in particular.
