Friday Roundup

Happy Friday!! Patrick has been gone all week so Mylo and I are very excited for him to get home today-- let the weekend begin!

Here are some links to kick us off:

Cute idea for a photo shoot.

How adorable is this cat cake?? (via Hither & Tither)

Tisk tisk. 

6 fun ways to be outdoorsy (no matter where you live).

Amazing church to house conversion.

In honor of the 10 year anniversary, Rachel McAdam's audition tape for The Notebook.

This made me laugh.

We are asparagus addicts right now, need to try this. 

Ummm, yessss. 

Mamas, I thought this was inspiring.

Jerry and Jessica, a little "hyper-aware."

Being a BFF in your 30's.

Look Who Is Finally Crawling!!

Yep, that's Mylo! Our pediatrician told us he should be crawling by his first birthday and he is just squeezing it in before the deadline. We are thrilled (and need to get baby-proofing, I guess he inherited his procrastination from us!).

And a little peek-a-boo video because I can't resist.

It's a throwback to the Grammys in February!

Jason (@jkoephoto) decided to post this on his Instagram randomly last night, thanks Jason!

How fun is it when your best friend comes with you to the Grammys!?!

This was taken after the ceremony, when we were all STARVING! They need to have more food at these things!

I'm focusing on being thankful today, for all the wonderful people and adventures in my life.

Favorite Things: Sofia Coppola Champagne Cans

Have you tried Sofia Coppola's amazing champagne "mini" cans? I love her champagne anyway but these little guys are perfect for sneaking into the movies, taking along for picnics, and sipping at bridal showers/pre-wedding festivities. They are one of my favorite go-to gifts for friends who like bubbly. Perfect for a fun summer treat!

Uxibal in Seattle

If you're in Seattle, do yourself a favor and stop by Moorea Seal in Belltown. Britini Port, designer of Uxibal is in town and she's brought lots of fun things to sell!

Uxibal is a brand that I love, because it combines beautiful hobo-chic styles with a mission to provide employment and opportunity for underprivileged people, something I'm passionate about.

Britini started Uxibal in Guatemala after working int he Peace Corps there as a way to create jobs for Guatemalans. Britini says, "We focus on employing Mayan women because they are traditionally the most underprivileged in Guatemala. They have limited access to education, are married at a young age, and have high birth rates—all of which add up to a striking social and economical disadvantage."

Uxibal draws inspiration from traditional hand-weaving, incorporating the bright colors and patterns into the designs, bringing traditional indigenous craft and design to a wider audience.

Come shopping with me!

The Uxibal pop up shop will be at Moorea Seal, on 3rd and Vine, kicking off Wednesday June 25th from 5-8pm. Uxibal products will be available in store through July 12th.

PS. If you aren't in Seattle, check out Uxibal online. 

Family Photos (better late than never part 2!)

I'm on a "better late than never" kick this month. We had family photos taken by the amazing Zoe Rain back in October for our Christmas card and for some reason I never posted them on the blog. They are so cute I decided might as well just throw them up now. I'm getting very nostalgic with Mylo's first birthday around the corner. It's so cliche but it really does feel like time is flying by.
