head on down (under)

Just a sending a little note that one of my favorite bloggers has lined up an incredible "autumnal" giveaway. Head over to Che and Fidel to view her impeccable taste...whatever season you may be celebrating! We obviously are celebrating spring with watercolors galore.

*as you may or may not know, Gracie is obsessed with Australia so we may or may not be moving there when she is eight ;-)

We're joining Soulemama for a Friday ritual. A single photo that captures a moment from the week. 

A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. 

woof, meow, woof!

lunchbox love :: a salad parfait

Hope you enjoy your lunch today honey!

Here is how I layered Ryan's salad parfait today*:

olive oil

balsamic

chickpeas (to marinate in the dressing)

broccoli (so beautiful at the farmer's market right now)

red bell pepper

lettuce (on top to stay crisp)

toasted seeds (pinon, sunflower, pumpkin)

ready to dump onto a plate and enjoy

(snack: almonds for your pocket xo)

*you can prepare a salad parfait up to 5 days in advance

"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week in 2013."

Not quite every week, but we are still joining Jodi for this wonderful series.

Grace: Dr. Seuss would have been 109 years old today. She celebrated at school with a fancy hat.

Emily: Enjoying amazing weather and homemade food. Where does the sunscreen stop and the yogurt begin?

**and enjoying the view of other little beans. her 9/52 portaits are gorgeous"
