I spent a lot of time in the last weeks of 2014 seeing art. These images serve as a bit of a visual reminder to myself of the works I saw and how I saw them.

We are back after a much longer than anticipated break! We hope your holiday season was filled with comfort and joy and that you are all feeling great about 2015! Here are some of our favorite pics from the last couple of weeks:
*
Farrell – Cleveland, OH + Los Angeles, CA

Look at sweet baby Kendall’s hair! This picture of the two buddies was too good not to share.
Saw this painted on a dresser on Suz’s birthday (1/3) and couldn’t help myself.
Had a pretty hardcore Osho card reading on New Years day.

Lauren – Pittsburgh, PA + Los Angeles, CA + Palm Springs, CA

Day trip to The Andy Warhol Museum with my mom. It is the world’s largest museum dedicated to one artist and is well worth a visit.
L: What sort of Cleveland activities should we do while we’re home?
F: I would like to go to the Christmas market with you, take Al tobogganing, make Suz’s Christmas cookies with the kids, spend time with babies and old people, hang with you and Mom, see my friends, watch the Cleveland orchestra. That is just the tip of the iceberg.
L: Do you have any words of wisdom for me?
F: Trust in yourself and do what’s right. I think the is the only advice that you need.
L: What’s your favorite Christmas song? Movie?
F: Home Alone is by far my favorite Christmas movie. Let’s watch it! The soundtrack is also my favorite.
L: If you could take a tourist trip to outer space, would you?
F: I would be so scared and probably act like I was going to die and say my final goodbyes to everyone I loved, but I would do it. I wouldn’t seek it out, but if it was given to me I would go. If I had kids, I wouldn’t.
L: What do you consider your greatest accomplishment over the last little bit of time?
F: Well traveling around the world with Albert was really something special but here is a small list:
Getting up on a surfboard
Having my peach pie recipe published in Clean Eats
Living in California
Being able to completely support our lives out here.
1.) Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls at the Party (via Amy Smart Girls) is an awesome site about learning to be a better member of the community while laughing. -Farrell
2.) Infographic: Your Obsession with “Serial” (via Fast Company) – Visualized had my friends and I cracking up. Particularly the “Tweets About Serial” Chart. “It’s an Ad for Best Buy!” -Lauren
3.) Mr. & Mrs. Globetrot are a couple I have been following for years. Their pictures of Peru completely take me back to that wonderful country. –Farrell
4.) What You’re Feeling Is Between You and You (via Julia Cowell) is an interesting read on tapping into your body’s physiological experiences in your relationships with others. I became familiar with Julia Cowell from this interview, “Relationship Is a Skill.” I think anyone could benefit from listening to this. -Lauren
5.) Tony Robbin’s TED Talk(via TED.com) “Why We Do What We Do” is always a good reminder. –Farrell
Last week I went to a pre-work morning dance party. Thanks to a little push from my friends, I woke up at 6am and headed to a bar to drink coffee and dance until it was time for work. I had no idea what to expect but I was more than pleasantly surprised. Daybreaker is a movement that started in San Francisco and has spread to almost 10 other major cities such as Tel Aviv, Amsterdam, Atlanta and Toyko. It’s intention is for you to start your day off right by dancing! I think that I actually had more fun than I would have if I went to a bar at 10pm on a Friday night. I think most of that was due to the fact that I was there to dance and it was just so early. Normally I would have worked out in the morning, but this was such a different high. People were drinking juice and coffee and just breaking it down the entire time. If you live in any of the cities where they host this morning dance party, I recommend that you go. Bring your friends and dance it out.
