have a lovely weekend



Dear Friends,

This week was a wild one for us, but so very very good. So many moments when life made me pause in awe and gratitude. I can't think of anything I want more than Hawk, Ace, and Poppy and these days with each of them.

Here are my favorite links from the week. Enjoy! They're SO good and full of eye candy and doable ideas.

How to layer like the French. I tried this at Saturday's Mass and when we sat in the pew Hawk turned and said, you still have that thing around your neck. did you know that? which basically made me think I'll never be able to pull off French layering. Maybe you can.

Thinking holiday table settings? Think these.

Oh, and psych! there's no such thing as pink.

Need a host or hostess gift for your Halloween party? Try this.

A very nice moving announcement!

The newest home and design blog added to my Reader list.

10 Great Halloween books for kids from one of my favorite design moms.

And spooky diy ballroom dancer silhouettes that glow in the dark in your yard.

Oh please may I have these hand towels?

Just pinned this slow-cooker marinara sauce that makes enough for a good month and is supposed to be delish.

I think this West Elmo side table, currently on sale(!), could be our new one, but Hawk won't stop watching the League long enough to confirm/prohibit. Ugh. Boys. I'd rather get this one but we can't with kids...right?

Just checked this book out from the library, just for fun. First time in a very long time I did so without reading reviews.

A stupid-cool kids craft corner that isn't too extravegant but is totally fun, and all Ikea.

I ordered four pairs of these baby girl knit leggings and I can't stop dressing Poppy in them with cute skirts, onesies, and cardigans!

Love this tree topper. And yes, I have been looking at Christmas decorations since March. It happens every year.


I hope your weekend is delightful in every way. See you Monday when we have ourselves a Foodie week!

We're laying low for once this weekend. Looks like our town will be back into the 90-100 degree record-breaking heats. Yuck. Times like these I wish we had some kind of pool membership. What are you all up to?

The painting above makes my top-five next purchases for art in our home. Get it before I do here.

A birth story from a friend who misses cherishes her daughter as much as her son.

Have you heard of mullet skirts? I'd love to pull it off if I didn't have man-calves. And check out her arms. Dang.

Have you found Roost yet? If you haven't, her pictures match the quality of her writing. With less than a dozen posts per month, it's worth the wait.

Great idea for an outdoor summer toddler activity station. (Could I fit any more adjectives in there? Or are those modifiers?)

If I was getting married this year, I'd choose something like this or this dress.

While not my style, I love Katie Graham's house tour.

I really really really want these schoolhouse canvas bins.

Doesn't this sound delicious for a rainy-day summer breakfast?

Have a lovely weekend!

Ours is jam-packed with goodies. I'll tell you all about it next week. In the meantime, enjoy some goodies from around the web.



Saw this Roots & Jimmy Fallon Call Me Maybe kids' musical instrument concoction when it first came out, and I'm still loving it every day. Seriously, every day. We dance. Check out the kazoo guy in the lower left and the guitar guy...And Fallon's face. I could go on.

How about some magenta tennis racket fabric? And I'm obsessed with Holli Zollinger's latest fabric collections.

I made this Tres Leche Cake for our neighbor's Fourth Bloody Mary Bar. I just finished it. I'm a pig.

Make a massive water blob for your kids, spouse, or just your sassy self.

A beautiful post about how 6-year-olds can grasp the sublime.

I've been cooking lately from this Jamie Oliver cookbook, and it is ridonkulus. It's the first I'm choosing to buy for myself, and I've had it checked out and re-checked out from the library for 7 weeks now. It totally teaches you how to cook the way you need to cook. And yummy freshness.

And have you seen what he named his kids? I die.

Enjoy!
