This is a good reminder...
especially for me since I had one crabby three year old yesterday.
And she didn't just have a moment.
It was an all-day affair.
Today? Couldn't be sweeter.
Kathryn Whyte
I am so in love with the illustrations of Kathryn Whyte and especially those of her holiday designs. Take a peek and maybe stock up on some cute tags for Christmas presents.
Think Pink
Kim, a dear friend of mine from high school, recently participated in the 3 day (60 mile) Susan G. Komen walk in Atlanta. She has many family members who have had breast cancer so it was near and dear to her heart. She documented her journey and I cried reading every single one of her entries. These men and women push through blistered and bloody feet, aches and pains. They all have very emotional moments during their walk. They are true inspirations! {I loved the sign Kim shared that she saw along her walk that read, "It's kind of fun to do the impossible" - Walt Disney} So when I received a flier on my door that the Dallas route would pass by my house, I knew I wanted to do something to support the walkers. My sweet husband made batches and batches of pink lemonade and we passed it out and cheered them on. They probably thought Stella dressed up in her princess dress just for them...little do they know that she puts her dress on every single day. It was so fulfilling to support all of these amazing people and Stella got such a kick out of those who dressed up as angels, in pink wigs, in tutus, etc. One older woman who passed by looked down at Stella and said, "you are the reason we're doing this".
DIY
When I was pregnant, I took on the most challenging DIY project of bringing a settee upholstered in four layers of fabric back to it's former glory. So when my friend shared with me pictures of her DIY project for her baby-to-be's nursery, I truly appreciated her effort. And I think she did such an amazing job! In fact, I like hers way more than the original.
She was first inspired by this Jonathan Adler chest...
She then bought this...
and transformed it into the most adorable dresser/changing table...
Isn't it the cutest?! I then spied this on Pinterest and shared it with
her since it reminded me of her concept.
I would have never thought of the multi-colored drawers
but now that I see it, I love it!
Fall Shoes
I adore these toddler shoes. I think I'll order a pair for Stella because they seem to be out of them in the store. Would you believe they are only $20 at Target?! Oh, but which color?
A Little Princess
"I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny, old attics; even if they dress in rags; even if they aren't pretty, or smart, or young. They're still princesses. All of us. Didn't your father ever tell you that?" - Sara, A Little Princess
Skull And Bones
This video is creepy and fitting for today. It was shot by a freshman, who referred to himself as the Dauphine, after he broke into the courtyard of Yale's secret society, Skull and Bones. Shortly after, he mysteriously withdrew from the University for "medical reasons". Two years later this footage was uploaded to YouTube by a user named Dauphinish. But the story does not end here. You can read this Yale Daily News article about the ongoings surrounding the freshman...a story that terrorized the residents of Vanderbilt Hall.
Are you spooked? Happy Halloween!
