Ideas Are Like Rabbits


I love this John Steinbeck quote.

Lately I've been a brainstorming machine... filling page after page in my notebooks, new ideas for the blog, for life, for the future... and I can't wait to share them with you. Cheers, for a wildly creative & productive Tuesday!

PS. Another favourite quote.

We Must Be Hatched

first eggs

“It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.” C. S. Lewis.

With My Eyes Skyward




"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time." John Lubbock.

Hope you're having a beautiful afternoon, mes amis.

Words To Live By


This essentially sums up one of my greatest life goals. I think about this quote a lot. We've slowly been purging our home of unneeded/unwanted things, FlyLady style, since September and it feels great. It's a long process, but eventually all those possessions which are taking up space in our house and our minds will be long gone and we'll be freer for it. Mmmm, I feel so light just thinking about it.

Surround yourself with loveliness, mes amis.
