i'm taking her to Bette Midler's Priscilla - Queen of the Desert for some silly fun! :)

a golden retriever made an unexpected pal!

a tribute to Maurice Sendak.

looking for an apartment in NYC? (heh.) check out this website if you haven't already.

my mom thinks that this commercial is basically featuring us. :)

a cute watch for summer.

um, i am so using this genius idea in my planner!

these would make an adorable gift for newlyweds.

this website has such funny little stuffed animals - like this one. read the description!

i find the "mess" of others' workspaces oddly inspiring.

this macaroni & cheese recipe looks like a must-try!

have a wonderful weekend! and a happy mother's day to all the little ladies out there who have, time & time again, put the needs of a child before their own...no matter the age of that child, no matter the biological ties, no matter the conditions.

mom, thank you for teaching me what unconditional love feels like. in my eyes, you are the best little lady there ever was - or ever will be. see you tomorrow!

until next time,
