Outdoor Spaces

truth.

Yep.  That pretty much sums it up.1  However, I am heading out camping this weekend!  Wish me luck.  Although, I probably won’t really need it with my parents’ gigantic motor home and all…  

In honour of the great outdoors, I’ve collected some favourite outdoor spaces.  Enjoy!

1 – for anyone that knows me well… even the above statement is a bit of a lie.  Because of my stupid bird phobia, I don’t even really enjoy drinking on patios!!!  People really need to stop feeding birds bread crumbs and french fries so that I can enjoy summer a bit more!

New Kid Art

I treated myself to a little update for my kitchen shelves…

This little black painting is the only piece of art that Jack brought home from grade one, so it’s pretty special to me!  I had it framed, and for now I’m enjoying how it looks on our kitchen shelves.  I think it works pretty well alongside the pink and gold beauty by Christine.

Here’s a close-up of the masterpiece:
