five questions interview series with nina beana!: part one with wendy

i've been a little internet-overwhelmed lately...call it interwhelmed if you will. and then it struck me...i should interview some of my fantastic blogging (and real-life) friends about what makes them tick...and what's inspiring them.

my first five questions interview is with the wendtastic wendy from mother rising!


1. what are the things that you have next to your bed/on your nightstand?

Well, our mattress is on the floor so we don't have nightstands. Initially we put it on the floor so baby Satch wouldn't have far to fall if he rolled off. Now he's 4 1/2 and we keep it on the floor because it makes the perfect trampoline. I have two little antique foot stools as nightstands. Upon them, a rotating stack of books, a book light, and a water bottle. Beneath the footstool is a basket of vintage hankies because you never know.


2. what are some things can't you live without?

Love, Love, Love.....and sunshine, and music, and good food, and art supplies.


3. if you had one hour to take yourself out on a date, where would you go?

I would go to a thrift store. The town I live in is void of thrift shops and I really miss them.


4. show me three pictures that sum up what an average day for you looks like.

all around the town: big ball races in tumbling class.

outside: growing fairy population

inside: the daily tide of play



5. what are five new websites/blogs that are inspiring you lately?

oh there are soooo many, but here's just a few...
