First up, An Awesome Book (literally.)
I am pretty much in love with this book...So much so, that I've deemed it our go-to birthday present from this point forward. It's a good reminder that somewhere along the way we lost our ability to dream big, magical, life-changing, world-altering dreams and instead have settled for this idea that it's more acceptable to dream of cell phones and silverware.
In the words of author, Dallas Clayton via the Huffington Post:
"The book is about dreaming big. I wrote it for my son. He always has these amazing dreams about really fantastical things, like made up animals, and wizard hunts and far away lands just like most of us used to conjure when we were six. Trouble is, at some point a lot of us stopped dreaming those fantastical things and replaced them with dreams like oak dinette sets, and duty-free cologne. I can't say why exactly, but I think it has something to do with the prizes they give out on game shows.
Anyhow, I created An Awesome Book to try to speak to that -- the idea of moving our amazing wild imaginary dreams just a little bit closer to those more tangible, simple daytime aspirations."
Awesome, no?
Next up, our first little harvest. (These are the things I dream of lately in case you're wondering...growing copious amounts of strawberries.) It wasn't much (five strawberries to be exact), but it thrilled the girlies beyond belief. They were over the moon. It's the simple things friends.
And finally (I tell you these lists get more random every week...) the blue agate necklace that Marisa kindly made for me after the one I was seriously coveting sold out.I. Love. This. Necklace.
Thank you for making another one for me Marisa. You rock.
