my little savannah is here for a visit. needless to say, i am preoccupied with bubbles and watercolor paints and snowballs.

(she is constantly giving atlas hugs. he tolerates them nicely. i, of course, think it’s pretty much the most adorable thing ever, since savannah and atlas are two of my favorite things. today, she wanted to comb his hair and put clips in it, but i explained that his short hair would make it almost impossible.)

but oh, have i been finding the goodness on the web these days.

i thought i would share some of my findings with you.

• a miniature magical world of snails from ukranian nature photographer vyacheslav mishchenko.
• a lyrical + beautiful + sad piece by natalie diaz on love and the mojave language.
• a food blog, local milk, with what is quite possibly the most gorgeous food photography i’ve ever seen. (like this red velvet beet cake. seriously. the photos are the very definition of sensual.)
• a courageous + vulnerable piece by melody ross on showing up, just as you are.
• and for lovers of myth & legend, there is this: gods for the modern age.

last weekend, i decided i needed more fun in my life.

even after a conversation with a friend, i was a little confused on how to go about it.

just then, savannah walked in.

so today, i am wishing you moments of laugh-out-loud delight.

because children are so good at reminding me of both the ease and the importance of it.
