Home is wherever I'm with you

Last night Kev and I, along with Jason and Danielle went to the Edward Sharpe concert! 

I'm sure many of you are familiar with their song Home or Janglin' - this one is from a couple commercials.

lyrics from Home

I hadn't really heard many of their songs, other than the popular ones, and I can say that tonight I'll be downloading their CD's, including the one they just released on Tuesday - Here (that's the name of the album, not a "click here" type of link lol).

I love his voice, and I love that their style is a little different and varies from song to song. Well... maybe I should say that all their songs are a little folk like but the beats change and it's not the same sound over and over like some bands do. 

Yeah I realize these are all kind of the same picture, but I was trying to catch all the colors of the lights and of course with a crappy phone camera taking the pictures they didn't come out the greatest. 

 This was my favorite song they played last night that I hadn't heard yet. 

He's saying Om Nashi Me, which apparently he just made up (I researched what it meant).

It was a really great concert and I would definitely say if you have the chance to go see them do it! You won't be disappointed.

Happy Thursday!

Pinterest for Equality.

Recently I have been seeing a lot equality, or lack there of, issues floating around.
Obama supporting gay marriage, we recently watched Red Tails, and the list goes on.

I believe most of you know that this is something that I'm passionate about. 

I've never been able to understand how or why people think they can treat others poorly because they are different.

Does skin color, gender, or different sexual preference really make someone superior or inferior?
I can't possibly see how since we are all human beings!
I don't think I'll ever understand it, but I will change it.

Please note that I do not care about people's sex lives. 
What others do behind closed doors is their business. 
My fight is equality for all!

I love this commercial!
I stand against intolerance.

Yep, I'm a bit of a feminist too. I think this is one of the top things that grinds my gears.
Yeah men might be stronger than women (depends on the man & the woman doesn't it!? I know some pretty little guys and some pretty big girls!) and I understand men are usually the ones to keep working once a woman has kids, but come the eff on!
I work just as hard at my job as a man works at his. In this day in age it's bullshit.

You should always remember that to others you are different to. 

Treat others the way you want to be treated.

Happy Wednesday

Hello everybody! 

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend.

I have a lot planned for this good ole blog over the next couple of weeks. 

However, my butt has yet to get into gear and write any of the posts that I want to post. 

So I think for today I'm going to follow the lead of Casey at Stress Case and make today, Quotable Tuesday. 

I love quotes and love to share them even more.

(even though most of you have probably seen all the same ones I have via Pinterest)

Let's Remember

I think it's important to note what today is really about.

I will never forget what people have scarificed just so I...no...we can all be free.

Thank you soliders and veterans for all that you have done for us!

Fallen but Never Forgotten.

Have you thanked a solider today?

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Friday!

I hope you all have a fun & safe Memorial Day weekend.

Tid & Bits

I've been crabby this week. It's hormones plain and simple. Despite the crabbiness I've been thinking a lot about the small things. The small things that make moments perfect.

Maybe it's because of the good weather, but it's something and I like it. 

 

 

I'm officially obsessed with the Voluspa Candles at Anthropologie!
The scents are clean, crisp, and some of them even have a hint of that manly cologne/musk smell. Mmmmmmm!
Check them out. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

We get to watch Nanner (aka Hannah) for a few days while Danielle and Jason are soaking up the sun in Florida...bitches lol.
Gunner loves having Hannah come stay for a few days and I can't say that I mind seeing that sweet little face running around either :)

Like I said yesterday, mamas got a new iPad.
I have been playing around on it for the last few days, but I know there is so much you can do and utilize on an iPad.
I do not have any iPhone and my iPod is a nano so I have a lot to learn about an Apple product.
I can't wait to dive a bit deeper. 

Any tips, tricks, or app suggestions are welcome!

Kev and I went over to a friends house last night for our first summer fish fry!
 Nick caught all the perch himself :)
Definitely started the summer frying sessions off on the right foot!

What have you been up to this week lovies?
