Casual Fridays
There's not enough time for a recent session post. Instead you get an image of our pup Bernie taking a snooze and a few links to help push forward to the weekend!
First up, since we are in a doggie mood, enjoy some gorgeous dog photography from photographers Erin Vey in Seattle and Anna Kuperberg in San Francisco. Both have an incredible talent in capturing a dog's liveliness and personality.
I came across the next link via swissmiss, which is a great way to spend a Friday all by itself especially so if you love design and a bit of geekery. Blank is Like Blank is self described as "analogies to live by" and if you're not living by them your missing out on all the fun! Here's a little selection from the site:
"Apologies are like monsters: They’re only real if you believe in them."
"Facebook is like a gossipy friend with no interesting information."
"Babies are like drunk men in bars: They only crave what’s in their immediate vicinity."
-Justin Feinstein
Finally saved from an issue of Real Simple, a few unique sites for summer travels:
roadfood.com "The most memorable local eateries along the highways and back roads of America"
momsminivan.com "101 Car Travel Games & Road Trip Ideas for Kids"
thebathroomdiaries.com "Few would visit a country without some advanced information, yet our tender bits are exposed to uncharted territories with no help or assistance. At our most vulnerable, we are blind. Well, no more. "
Happy Friday!

This site could be dangerous for your wallet if you are into well designed handmade goods. The tagline is "Great design. Straight from designers." Check out the wear + carry section. I have developed serious crushes on so many of the bags.

Site and store dedicated to bringing you information regarding BPA and BPA Free products. They have a nice selection in the store including bottles, sippies, teethers and toys.

A modern approach to a old time favorite. This is great for Winter to help keep kids active. Now we all need bigger houses to have playrooms that can comfortably fit this.

Lovely illustrations. "The charming story of a puppy so large that no one notices him—until a determined little girl climbs high enough to meet him and become his friend."

Exactly what it says presented in a beautifully designed layout. The designer in me wants to look at it simply for the sake of looking at it, but I promise to try to help the planet why I'm at it.

"In a follow up to her award-winning debut album, Frances England's new cd, Family Tree, blends folk, indie and old time sounds to explore themes of family life, animals, friendship, and empowerment. This is music for the whole family. Truly."
