un/inspired

i'm feeling so uninspired.

--i started a bootcamp thing and it is kicking my butt. all i want to do is sleeeeeep.
--drew has been working lots and lots.
--the rain has come back to visit us.
--i am in a cooking dinner rut. what in the world do you have for dinner? i feel like i can only have fajitas a few more times before I flip out.
--and laundry? does it seriously ever end? don't answer that.

anyways...

so in my BLAH Lindsay mood, I have decided to share with you three links that I have favorite-ed lately and just keep going back to.

1.) THIS PURSE

Better Life Bags. Just read their mission statement. They rent sewing machines and supplies to underpriviledges woman who make these bags. and the bags are freaking cute! On my birthday wish list for this year (drewwwww :)

We hire women, who otherwise cannot get jobs, to work for BLB.  We rent them a sewing machine and tools while teaching them a skill set that allows them to become a primary or secondary provider in their families.  Most of these women are first generation immigrants from countries such as Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, and Yemen, so we are also able to provide them with much needed fellowship and friendship as we visit their homes to deliver fabric and pick up orders.




2.) THESE BOOKS

these May books are all the rage in the bloggy world right now. You pick the cover, monograms,  the colors inside, the style, planner, mealplanner, notebook whatever!







3.) THIS STORY

our wedding photographer and her husband have been trying to adopt  another addition to their family. Her blog post from this weekend made my heart hurt, but left me inspired at the same time.
