Last Friday, I finally upgraded my ancient flip phone (the kind that looked good ten years ago when Jason Bourne used it to track his identity, less so in 2012) to an iPhone. I’ve been excitedly snapping away during the day ever since, taking little pictures of places visited and moments shared as the week unfolded. If you’d like to see more of these, find me on Instagram (@simplybike).
Incidentally, it’s through Instagram that I came across some of these wonderful (and new to me) bloggers below. Here’s some fun reading for you for the weekend:
The Penny Farthing – a beautiful blog written by K., an American ex-pat now living in Amsterdam (I want to live in Amsterdam too!)
Marci shares her beautiful photos of life in Colorado with a little one on her blog, Picking Wild Mountain Berries.
Sandra Juto is a photographer based in Berlin and her pictures of the city and life within it are just amazing.
And Whitney brings the beauty that is life with her family in NYC to life here.
Happy weekend, everyone! ♥



















Um, are those Poky Sticks? If you have no idea what I’m talking about, please ignore. But my entire body is screaming for my nineteen-year-old metabolism and to live in the midwest again just to eat some poky sticks.
love your instagram pics! (it’s addicting!!!) thanks so much for the mention! xxx
Thank you, thank you for the blog-love! I am so very honored. :)
Every time I think the same: you have the CUTEST baby ever! She is wonderful!
I think flip phones are very attractive. And I’m not just saying that because I still use mine.
Great, now I crave cupcakes. :)
Bryna, I ALWAYS crave cupcakes :)
