I love tiles!

I started a collection of photos, they contain a moment in time where I experienced some sort of a big load of nostalgia mixed with inspiration (the patterns and colors are out of this world!!!) and of course a lot of wonderment. Why aren't houses and places made this way anymore?


For me it has always been in my city, Cali that I encounter the most of this tiles; old houses (the "good" ones) used to be the ones filled with beautiful colors! I really don't understand when all this beauty faded away and people thought it was ok to just vanish them. In the mean I'll keep looking for more of them. Did I manage to take you back to your memories of these sweet places?

Have a great weekend! And a happy friday!

Painting with Chalks

The other day while "pinteresting" I came across an image that inspired me to get some chalks and get the kids outside. It took some persuasion to get the older one motivated (bring a friend, and I have some of the gummies you like, seemed to work). The little one had a blast, he couldn't figure out what exactly we were doing, he tried eating the chalk and when that didn't work he painted his face, and then rolled over every square we had painted! You can see in the pictures how clean he was!
The best part was that I hadn't grabbed a chalk in such a long time, and oh! it felt good! Just some snacks, two boxes of chalks and we had created a wonderful piece of street art!! In the end everyone was happy starting from the little one all the way to the oldest (that one is me by the way)!








It couldn't get more street art than this, and the view from my apartment is just very colorful and uplifting. This will be until it rains, and that will happen really soon!
Do you have any ideas to get the kids involved in activities that don't require too much planning or too much money?     I would love to hear any ideas, even if you don't have any kids?

May your weekend be a colorful one! And have lots of fun!
