the no laughing zone

sometimes i wonder where all my time goes because i feel like i don't sleep and i'm never home. then i realize its because i'm usually in the no laughing zone spending time with my favorite little ones.

WHEN LAUGHING WAS ALLOWED...

THE NO LAUGHING ZONE...

my cousins and i are becoming more like our moms. first it starts with the cackling laughter that used to annoy us so much when we were younger.

my little pet

upon one of my new adventures in seattle, cici and i stumbled across a cute little plant boutique called THE PALM ROOM. we were drawn inside by the open garage door and all the lovely plants peeking out to soak in the sun. we both fell in love with little balls of algae called MARIMO.

life hasn't been coming up roses since the year started and i felt that cici and i needed a lil pick-me-up from all the stress that's been clouding our lives so i stopped by to pick up mari-chan and momo (aka rolly and polly). in a way i felt the little friendship balls of ours was symbolic of where we were in life right now.

like mari-chan who grows approximately 5mm per year, im growing more mature a little more every year too. time feels like it's going by so fast but yet where i currently stand seems like only a step further down the road of life than where i was last year. occasionally mari-chan gets a little fuzzy and needs a little care to be smoothed. once in awhile i'll need a push of motivation or some support to keep me on or help me find the right track.

mari-chan, we're in this together!
