Happy Friday!

1. A sight for sore eyes returning home from a trip around the world. 2. The kids made a Welcome Home banner. 3. Gift from India. 4. Cheerful tchotchke from China’s Forbidden City.

Dave arrived home yesterday from his trip around the world. He made stops in China and India to shoot footage for a campaign he’s working on telling the story of people saving the world. Seriously. I can’t make this stuff up. And yes, it’s weird and totally blows my mind that this is where we are in our lives right now.

If you’d like to see a few more photos from his trip, you can find them here. I know he’s working on a post of images. I’ll let you know when it goes live.

In other news, we’re celebrating our 12th wedding anniversary this weekend! How does 12 years go by so fast?

And now the links…

May the 4th be with you

I must have watched Seven Brides for Seven Brothers a 100 times with my mom. Love this round up by Moddern Kiddo!

I think the kids and I will have to give these biscuits a try

My kids would flip for any and all of these for our little backyard

Want to take better Instagram pictures? Me too! Her New Leaf tells us how

First lesson in circuitry – playdough. Second – Altoid tins. Can’t wait to make these with the kids!

Our friends at Let Children Play have created a great new site advocating the importance of, well the title says it all

An early Happy Anniversary to you! Any big plans? We’re keeping it low key. Which I’m really looking forward to after the month we’ve had.

Jen, I love your answer about your favorite thing about motherhood in your interview on IFG. I always think the same thing. “Well, my favorite thing about Motherhood is my amazing kids, of course!”
