As summer slowly winds down, we are making sure to relish those sun-filled moments of peace and carefree joy. It might be a busy time with school starting around the corner but take a pause to delight in the warmth, sounds, and smells of August. Your heart will thank you for it.
Inspirational Wallpaper: July
No explanation is really needed for this dreamy summer wallpaper but Rumi’s words are always spot on. Have a lovely and blessed July!
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.
Rumi
Inspirational Wallpaper: May
Firstly, Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful and strong women out there that we call mom. Having almost survived our first year of parenthood, we are truly humbled by all the sacrifices you make every single day. I know we are a bit late for our May wallpaper post but hey, better late than never! We were in Vancouver and Seattle when April passed us by so we forgot all about our April post. Oops. To make up for it, the wallpaper I’m sharing for free download is a shot I took in Vancouver’s Stanley Park. The lighting and colors were just too perfect so it didn’t need a quote. Here’s to bright and cheery May days 🙂
Urban Jungle Bloggers: Botanical Zoom
Spring is just around the corner and what better time to zoom in on plants than now! Our house plants are very dear to us. So much so that before we had our baby, we talked about our plants as though they were our children. Yes, they were (and still are) that important to us! We didn’t really know anyone that took their plants as seriously as us until we came across the awesomeness that is Urban Jungle Bloggers. Urban Jungle Bloggers, hosted by the inspiring Igor and Judith, is a monthly series inviting bloggers to write and share anything and everything plant-related. Every month there is a different theme and this month is all about zooming into the hidden beauty that is often taken for granted.
So here’s to taking pauses; to setting aside the chaos of daily routines and endless to-do lists. Here’s to being one with the pieces of earth that coexist with us in our homes.
“Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.”
Henry David Thoreau
There is something serenely beautiful about the way the sunlight streams in and filters through our plants. It illuminates the most intricate of details, serving as a reminder that within us lies an unimaginable and incomprehensible vastness. It is truly humbling.
“Every particular in nature, a leaf, a drop, a crystal, a moment of time is related to the whole, and partakes of the perfection of the whole.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
