ReplyDeleteWhere can I find the mOmma promo code for the link you provided?
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday Joanna!
ReplyDeleteMOmmaUS is asking for a promo code on their FB page for the sample & coupons. Would you know what the promo code might be? Thanks!
I really love reading your blog, but haven't felt compelled to comment until now because YOU LOVE THE PIGEON BOOKS too! I'm so happy to have found someone else!

I so enjoy your Weekend posts. Have a great massage!
ReplyDeleteThat mint colour dress is so pretty. Have fun this weekend!! xo
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou had me in tears by sharing the wedding story. OMGoodness! so sad but so inspiring at the same time.
Re-painting some craigslist finds and getting ready to move to our new house!
ReplyDeleteAlso - can't figure out promo code either?
Thanks! Happy weekend!
For the promo code I used acupofjo and it seemed to work.
ReplyDeleteAw, "This Will Be Our Year," is one of my favorite songs ever.
ReplyDeletePromo code for @mOmmaUS is CUPOFJO
ReplyDeleteI am loving mint this season too. Want to get a pair of jeans in that color! And what a moving wedding song. How tragic but neat that she shared her story.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my "Fab Friday Beauty Tip"... www.rachaelkhawkins.blogspot.com
Oh my, that pee-covering app is hilarious! You definitely need it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for introducing me to Mrs. Lilien - what a treat.
Hi there, will the mOmma coupon work in Canada? Thank.
ReplyDeleteHaha, you should live in Japan where their washrooms (at least the public ones) have "courtesy" buttons on the toilets you can press and it plays music for you.
ReplyDeleteThat wedding story was as equally beautiful as it is heart breaking - it made me stop and think about what life really is all about. Thanks for posting it Jo. And love the humour of the app - you are so funny - !!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a gorgeous weekend - I'm off down to the country to potter in the garden and be gentle and quiet.
Your Refinery 29 advice is spot on! I read that same interview with SCB and have held on to her advice through the years. Words to live by indeed.
ReplyDeletevery interesting picture!! happy tea-kendie;))

ReplyDeleteThe Shelby glasses look EXACTLY like the Guess glasses I just got :) Excited to rock my new glasses on no fuss days
ReplyDeleteHi Joanna, I love your blog! I look forward to it every day. Have you ever thought of writing a book?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE foot massages!! My hubby gives me at least one every single day!...And I've been known to get a professional foot massage/pedicure on occasion as well! ^_^ Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteI stopped going down your list after I read the wedding story. It must have been all I needed to process for today. What a stellar tribute to the greatness + fullness of love. Heartbreaking and affirming, indeed. Thank you for sharing it with us. Enjoy a beautiful weekend.
ReplyDeleteWe're going to a friends movie premier tonight, which I'm really excited about! Mostly because it's our first date night without our baby in a long time :).
ReplyDeleteA foot massage sounds amazing! Enjoy!
I could kill for a foot massage! Enjoy yours, Joanna. Loved the link to the funny Dutch inventions. I'm Dutch but I had never heard of them. Crazy folks, them dutchies eh? :)
ReplyDeleteThat app is hilarious AND useful. I like that it calculates how much water you've saved! (nerd).
ReplyDeleteI love how good-natured you are about any kind of criticism. I respect you for being honest and pleasant. Many people are one or the other, or neither. You're refreshingly both.
The wedding story made me cry, but then the phone app made me giggle! Have a lovely weekend, enjoy your foot massage. xxx
ReplyDeleteThat story was so heartbreaking. I cried. I love the things you find, Joanna, and the warmth with which you share them. I hope Bethany is doing okay these days; what a wonderful gift that she's was able to marry her true love. We should all be so lucky.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Charlotte

ReplyDeleteI'm about to explore more of the beautiful city of San Francisco! Maybe Alcatraz is next?
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend, Joe + everyone else here :)

I cried so much reading the wedding story. For me the emotions are so raw as I battled a life threatening disease 2 years after getting married. Reading their beautiful wedding story was cathartic and opened up a well of well hidden pain from the past 5 years of fighting against all odds.
ReplyDeletewhoa. that wedding story was so beautiful and inspirational.
ReplyDeleteenjoy the weekend! xx
Holy sh@@ the Bachelor thing is brilliant. Definetely made me laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your massage! That mint dress is lovely. This weekend I will be helping my fiance with a research paper, going to Seattle to drink some bubble tea, and plan for our upcoming wedding!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting a picture of my home island!! Maui No Ka Oi!
ReplyDeletethat 12 year old is amazing!?! I would love to hear her story!
ReplyDeleteI l.o.v.e. Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus. and Pigeon Wants a Puppy. I don't even have kids!
ReplyDeleteAwesome as always ;)

ReplyDeletehave anice weekend ;)
About 8 months ago I was 3 days away from my due date so a friend took me to get a foot massage/ pedicure as a special treat and guess what! It put me into labor! ..no joke :)
ReplyDeleteI love that fiddle fig leap plant! Also, a fan of the pigeon books.
ReplyDeleteI totally love that song, Joanna! It reminds me that I need to listen to more music.
ReplyDeleteJoanna,
ReplyDeleteI have been following your blog daily for the last four years. I remember when you first were engaged to Alex, and when you were married, and who could ever forget when Toby came along! And your blog has helped me through my final two years of college, two big breakups, and getting my first job as a teacher. I have felt like commenting many times but today more than ever. As a young(er...) reader, I appreciate your 'best advice' column today. I can relate when you talk about figuring out who you are/ who you wanted to be in your early 20s and as someone who is there, I really appreciate it. I just thought it was time to stop in and say hello officially. Thank you for all that you do, Joanna. You touch lives every day!
This Will Be Our Year was me and my husband's wedding song!
ReplyDeleteSuch an amazing photo!

You know, Joanna, it's funny but I remember you posting your favorite advice on Smitten with a photo of a girl taking a running leap off a wooden deck into a lake! And I remember this because I took it so to heart that I printed out a copy of that blog post for my scrapbook. :) Thanks for the reminder...I just came out of writing my master's thesis and presenting it in colloquium, so now that's out of the way, I have the headspace to think about what else I'd like to do with my life now. I can create it. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your universe, hope you enjoy your massage!
ReplyDeleteAwww.. thanks for including my little nappers in your link post! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThose Bachelor sketches are hilarious!!!
ReplyDeleteI was so moved by Bethany's wedding story. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!!! Enjoy your foot masage :)
ReplyDeleteThank you..
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week end.
