I love, love, love patterns! All of these patterns feature pretty summery colors, including the Pantone color of the year - emerald green. I would love to have prints of these to hang up around the house... bathroom, living room and bedroom, maybe? If I was feeling daring I might choose one for wallpaper?! That would be amazing!

Meet Brutus!
On June 29th 2013, my boyfriend and I adopted a basset hound puppy! He's a purebred dog who comes from a long line of champions. He was born in a litter of four boys (himself included) and two girls. His original name was Legend but we thought the name Brutus suited him a bit more. At this point, Brutus knows the "sit" and "come" command; he's trying very hard not to relieve himself on the hardwood floors and carpet. He gets a bit of peanut butter (his fave!) when he successfully goes to the bathroom outside.
His ears are too long for his body. He is always stepping on them when he's running around the yard. He loves to run after me when we're outside. He's very snuggly and will give you kisses. His crate is his favorite place to sleep but he is known to fall asleep right in our laps. His bunny, squeaky dog and tennis ball are his favorite toys.
My boyfriend and I are very excited to start this journey with Brutus. I can't wait to see what kind of dog he grows into!

Movies that Move You: Another Earth
When another earth is discovered, Rhoda Williams, a lover of stars and space, dreams of visiting this new planet. But her world crashes down around her when she is involved in a terrible accident. Her future at MIT now ruined, Rhoda takes a job as a cleaner and through a series of events meets John Burroughs, a man inextricably linked to her past. As her relationship with John develops, Rhoda receives a chance to visit the other earth. Will her duplicate be just like her? Did she make the same mistakes? Is John's broken life on this earth whole on the other? Will Rhoda make the trip to the other earth?
Another Earth is a beautifully written and heartbreaking story. The cinematography is on point; the acting of both Brit Marling and William Mapother is something to behold. Weaving together what is essentially a sci fi narrative with a love story between two broken people, Another Earth packs an emotional punch. It asks this question: how far would you go to fix your mistakes? For Rhoda, it might be to another planet. For us, it could be much smaller. What would you do?

Color Inspiration: Purple, Blue & Green
I absolutely fell in love with this picture the moment I saw it on Pinterest. I obviously pinned it and kept it in the back of my mind for my next Color Inspiration. The colors in this photo are so striking and vibrant, right? Almost electric. It doesn't even look real, as if it's inside some video game or animated film. Whatever it is, I just want to be there and soak in all the color. Don't you?!
