some of you might know, we travel a lot. we’ve moved every year since we’ve been married (that’s 5!) and have made it clear across the country. when i saw this u.s. cork board project over at yellow brick home, i thought it would be such a cute way to log our travels!

it also instantly reminded me of this map on my iphone. as we drove home (yup, from california to north carolina) for Christmas, my iphone took note of where i took pictures- represented here by the pins!

different pins can mean different things, like where you’ve lived, where you’ve travled and maybe where you would like to travel! and, i think these twig thumb tacks would make it especially adorable. :) visit yellow brick house for the diy instructions!

happy friday, friends! i’ve finally gone through our 900 and some pictures from our yosemite trip, and wanted to share with you just a few of them today.

our trip was spectacular. we couldn’t have asked for better weather and more beautiful surroundings. during the 4 days we were there, we hiked about 40 miles and climbed an accumulative 15,000 feet (i think i just got my legs back!). for david and i, there’s just something about being in the back country. it makes us feel alive and it draws us back to the basics.

i have loved these handpainted travel mugs from yevgenia for so long, aren’t they beautiful? i can just see myself sipping tea from one while strolling down the sidewalk. with non-toxic paint these mugs are perfect for everyday use and even dishwasher safe!

well, i’m off to the airport to pick up my hub! he’s been gone all week to a stage race in minnesota. i’ll be so happy to see him! our ‘phone relationship’ just hasn’t been cuttin’ it.  the airport is about 3 hours away, so i’ll be slurping coffee and jamming to kanye for the next few hours in efforts to stay awake.  wish me luck!  xoxo, bonnie

emily goodwin is the budding photograher of emele photography, and just recently opened a brand new shop on etsy!  she’s a gal of many talents living in between crete, greece and wiltshire in the uk, so much of her work is done while she travels.  my favorite is the picture of this poppy field (poppies are my latest obsession!).
