Inspiration Station & a birthday collaboration

First off, 
Happy Birthday to Miss Kendra 
{well, technically Mrs.} 
but yeah, 
Happy Birthday! 
And on a Friday too, how awesome is that?! 
You should go drop in at A Grimm Tale and wish her a happy day of birth :) 

 Ah, the brunette Sam. 
Glad my hair lady puts up with my constant need for hair changes.


Today's inspiration station is pretty simple.... 

KEEP IT SIMPLE!

While talking to Kendra a little earlier today, she said she was keeping her birthday, "simple" this year. 

That got me thinking about things and just kinda reminded me, that we really need to have that mind frame everyday. Why complicate things? I think I am the worst at this. I always worry, over think, get uptight, stress out, yada yada yada... What's the point? It's so unnecessary and exhausting. 

In honor of keeping it simple, I'm gonna keep this post short, sweet, and to the point. 
"simple is blissful"

Have a very

weekend my lovely friends
I HEART YOU ALL

simple is definitely the way to go. when we lived in switzerland we went from having everything in the world, to a small apartment with the very bare essentials. but we were and are so happy! you realize how little is necessary. we're moving to panama on monday and i know we'll be away from all of our "stuff" and the comfort of our home but we will still enjoy the simplicity of it al!

thanks for your inspiration sam!

and happy birthday to your friend!

Jessica said...

To quote Dwight K. Schrute, "KISS: Keep it simple, stupid. Great advice, hurts my feelings every time."

Unlike Michael Scott's, your advice won't hurt anyone's feelings but will lift them up. Thanks for reminding us what matters.

simple is always the best option. I know things get messy when I don't let them be "simple"

Hope you had a great weekend!
