my week in objects (mostly).

March 25, 2016

1. these dogwood buds.

{because getting a not-yet bloomed branch just means you get to enjoy it that much longer.}

2. this easter-colored laundry.

{for being so cute.}

3. these clippers.

4. this book.

{heh. i know. but i realized that in this week last year i was taking all of its photos. some of them with a baby strapped to my back. so glad to be on the other side. so thankful for everyone reading.}

5. this broken chair seat.

    I’m curious about the wool sneakers. Do you own some? Could you tell me more about them?

      I do own them! They’re super comfortable and have been really thoughtfully designed. You can read more about them here!

    We potty trained at the beginning of the year when my son was 27 months old. We would have done it earlier but I had a newborn (now 7 months). It was SO much easier than I expected. Apart from a few days of fearing going #2 on the toilet, he did great. And I can count on one hand the number of accidents he’s had since that first week. We did do the treat route, which I’ll avoid next time. Good luck Faye!

    Love the wool sneakers. Also, the photo from your book made me wonder. How do you clean your market basket, since I see you put unwrapped produce in it? I’ve only ever put unwrapped produce in a washable cotton bag.

    man, gotta get me a sourdough starter! we’ve made kombucha for awhile there and we get weirdly attached to the “organ,” we call it. actually I guess it’s called a SCOBY? still, definitely takes a lot of care! haha. and breakup showers should definitely be a thing, ugh!

    Love the break up registry. After I got divorced, I took most of the housewares and moved back in with my parents and daughter. Once I bought my new house, I had all the items I needed but, well – they were all from my previous life. I’ve been doing well with disassociating memories (it’s 5 years and one new marriage later) but, sometimes it’s still weird…

    I am so in love with your blog! It is so inspiring for me, not only in the way you live your life but also the way you write about it and document it. I just started a blog myself and am always looking for inspiration and ideas.

    Thanks for sharing!
