My darlings, what are you up to this weekend? Alex, Toby and I are going to the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens to see the cherry blossoms on Sunday. I'm also going to try to find time to sneak away and do some spring shopping. I can't keep wearing jeans and Converse, eeks! And I've been reading Tina Fey's book and loving it. She's hilarious. I'd highly recommend it if you want something fun to read. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, and here are a few great posts from around the web...
