Griffin and Louise have been playing this new favorite game nonstop. It’s cute and fun and doesn’t take a long time to play. It says ages 8+ but I’d say more like 5+ if there’s some help with simple math. 

I’ve been taking a lot of photos of clouds lately. It’s something I’ve always done on airplanes to help calm my nerves (it’s the best non-medicine coping method!), and I realized that it’s having a similar effect these days on land. Apparently I’m not alone. There’s even a whole cloud society that was beautifully documented in the NYTimes last year. We’re all leaning into the simple everyday things that we appreciate more now that our lives have slowed down, and clouds in the sky, wherever I am, has definitely become one of those things for me. 

If you asked me if I follow any florists on Instagram, I’d probably pause and shrug. Maybe? I appreciate the artistry of floral design, and I of course always appreciate receiving flowers--best treat ever! I just don’t seek it out as a source of inspiration. I'm drawn more to foliage in its natural habitat. But I recently stumbled upon the Melbourne-based flower shop, Flowers Vasette that changed that. I was drawn in immediately. I love the graphic quality of the arrangements, the sometimes surprising scale, the combo of wild and restrained that they do so well. They even changed how I feel about roses! Always so happy when these images pop up in my feed.
