When I count my blessings, i count you twice*

* irish proverb



Even though we have never really made a big fuss out of celebratory days like that, yesterday's Father's Day still gave me opportunity to honor and acknowledge how blessed i am. I at least tend to loose sight of how lucky i actually am.

So please excuse if i take this space to count my blessings:



* thank you for being you!
* thank you for letting me be me!
* thank you for singing songs to Leona.
* thank you for never asking why i didn't get to do the laundry, iron shirts, clean up the kitchen, etc.... i do that myself anyways.
* thank you for coming home every evening to see Leona before she goes to bed.
* thank you for supporting me in all my endeavors whole heartedly.
* thank you for being my strongest advocate.
* thank you for always putting things into perspective.
* thank you for taking out the trash, cooking chicken skewers and making awesome sweet potato fries (amongst other things of course - that's just your favorite right now ;)).
* thank you for letting me be your 'facebook manager'.

Toxic Textiles

When i saw this, i was shocked. I knew about the use of pesticides for cotton growing but watching this clip just blew my mind.

Little piece of heaven

... who said heaven can't be found on a desk? This is the place in the house that i seem to love to be at the most - besides hanging out with L. anywhere else of course. Whenever i find the time, this is where i spend it. I found the desk at Ease, a little shop on Division. I love the color, but what's best - it fits perfectly into the little nook in our guest bedroom. Now this part of the house found its destiny as well.



Would anybody guess that i am German? I love when everything has its place. However though, there is space for creative chaos. Actually just behind me when i took this picture - laundry mountains - but you can't see :)
