In the last week I've had conversations with no less than 5 friends about how we're all in a phase of infusing our homes and lives with whimsy and wonder.

30 Ways to Find Whimsy + Wonder

You know, the world wants you to believe that whimsy and wonder are luxuries. Frivolous. Optional. Something you can indulge in after you’ve done the “important” stuff.

Whimsy and wonder are not extras. They are essentials.

They remind us that we are still alive. They interrupt the monotony of survival mode and say, “Hey... remember joy?”

They give us a reason to look up, to pause, to breathe a little deeper. And in a world that profits off your disconnection, that moment of presence? That’s rebellion.
