smelling the roses


hi friends! sending love and love to you all. i've been spending some time with my family...finishing up work projects...and dreaming a bit. bee learned how to smell (and not eat) flowers last week...and there was just something so breathtakingly beautiful about it and her and those tiny little heavy breaths in. anyways, it made me realize in my own small way how an'ache i was for a genuine, authentic life...filled with smelling life's roses (and maybe sometime eating them too). little ones have a way of reminding us of that..

we're leaving for the ocean on friday. a week away with the loves of my life..time to paint...time to rest...time to collect way too many seashells. (while i'm away you can see peeks of our trip on instagram: @katiespencilbox)

p.s. the summer issue of anthology magazine is coming out and me and matt...our bobbins and our house are all featured inside. here is the trailer and bits from our photo shoot!

    agree with you- our little kids have a way of reminding us to just relax and enjoy life's simple moments. :)

    I love the picture of the kids looking at the camera, and you and your special man looking at each other. heart explode.

    Have fun on your trip! We are leaving for Hawaii tomorrow. Babies at the beach at this age are so fun.

    Looking forward to what's to come for you!

    this is such exciting news! i saw this issue when we got it shipped to us at work (Anthro), but i haven't had the chance to thumb through it yet. i'm definitely going to get a copy since one of my favorite bloggers is featured!

    also, i love what you said about living a more authentic life. i've been thinking about that A LOT in the last few months, especially in regards to blogging. i haven't blogged in a long time and i think it's because all of the bloggers out there i know and/or follow (besides you and a handful of others here and there) are so focused on image and getting more followers and becoming "blog famous", as i like to call it. it has saddened me because i don't want to be like that. i just want to live an authentic life and be honest about who i am and not try to turn that into a gimmick. that's why i appreciate your blog so much. i don't feel like you try to be someone you're not, you just document your life and your loves and it's beautiful.

    i definitely wasn't expecting to write all of that out, but when i started thinking more about what you wrote about bee smelling the flowers and how that inspires you, i guess this all just came out HA HA!

    anyway, thanks for being a blogger i admire and am inspired by.
    also, i've been really enjoying your ig photos from the trip! so lovely and gorgeous.

    xoxo,
    andrea
