May project: be a little silly

May 8, 2013

Today is day 8 of the blog every day in May challenge! Today the prompt is: A piece of advice you have for others. Anything at all.

Don’t take yourself too seriously. I am often times in need of this advice.

Smile more, if you like the song be the first to dance, sing out loud if you want, give a little shimmy and shake that seriousness off. If the picture isn’t perfect but you like it anyway, share it! If it’s warm out wear something for function versus fashion. Let you hair air dry and go with it. Leave the house without make up on. Walk in the city with your shoes off. Skip in the grass. You’re never too old to do something you enjoy. If something gets you down try and not let it ruin your day (maybe this is the one I need).

Will you be a little silly day?



May project: my blogger friend

May 5, 2013

It’s day 5 of the blog every day in May challenge. This is kind of crazy blogging so much but I’m having fun (so far). The prompt for today is: Publicly profess your love and devotion for one of your blogger friends.

I’m going to tell you about my blogger friend Sarah who is also my friend in real life and blogs at Sometimes I’m trendy. I met her when I moved to Seattle through Walker. She is the wife of one of his coworkers. We hit it off as she loves to thrift, throw themed parties, is incredibly sweet and giving and turns out also blogs!

Once she shared her blog with me I would check in and see what new clothes she had scored at a thrift store, what themed party she had thrown, a creative date night she had planned for her husband, or their latest adventure. I always find inspiration in her ideas and her excitement for new things and life if contagious. She’s a real sweetheart and I’m glad we are real friends as well as blogger friends.
