What are you up to this weekend? New York has been snowy and grey this week. (This song is on my mind.) But the good news is that daylight savings is this Sunday, March 10th. We can make it! Also, thanks for being so sweet about the new baby. It’s such a pleasure to share everything with you. Hope you have a great weekend, and here are a few fun posts from around the web...I had lunch this week with Gretchen Rubin, the author of The Happiness Project. She's just as awesome in person!
A woman woke up in the hospital with short-term memory loss. Her best friend wrote this letter to help her out.
Spite houses are bizarre!
Blood orange margaritas.
These shoes are officially on my wishlist.
Pippa Middleton wrote a book! Will you read it?
How to be alone together.
Food pairings.
It's the time of year for this beauty treatment, don't you agree?
Lovely bookshelves.
A San Francisco bridge gets a makeover.
Cute jacket for spring.
Leo Babauta's beautiful advice to his children.
I posted about goats yelling like humans, but what about humans yelling like goats yelling like humans? Can't stop laughing...
New Yorkers, tickets are on sale for this awesome grilled cheese competition.
Have a good one. xoxo

Oh Agyness, haha I mean Toby :)
ReplyDeleteThe Bay Bridge light installation looks fantastic! Even more reason to head down to SF soon.
ReplyDeleteSpite housing. Is that sorta like what George Lucas is doing to his Marin neighbors? http://money.cnn.com/2012/05/16/real_estate/george-lucas-housing/index.htm
ReplyDeleteYou too! ♥ your blog!
ReplyDeleteCute pic!
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think I'm interested in Pippa Middleton's book. Kate - now she's an interesting story.

Such a sweet picture! Have a great weekend. Spring is coming!
ReplyDeleteJoanna - I just have to tell you - I watched an Indie film last night I think you'd enjoy. It's called The End of Love. It's a bit sad, but so fascinating. It grips your heart. The little boy reminded me of Toby :)
ReplyDeleteYeah...Pippa Middleton? I don't think so.
ReplyDeleteThat family pic is just fantastic! It makes mee smile and I'm not even related. Ha.
ReplyDeleteOkay, spite houses are totally weird, but how adorable is that tiny blue alley-house? I kind of love it! Great family photo btw!
ReplyDeleteLoved these links. The article about how to be alone together was fascinating. And the San Fran bridge looks unbelievable! Makes me want to take a special trip to see it.
ReplyDeleteI can't stop tearing and laughing from the goat people!!
ReplyDeleteYou look cute with your matching glasses and the cutsie between you ...happy weekend to you and thanks for all the links...I am getting addicted to these : )
ReplyDeleteThat letter to the friend is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!
ReplyDeleteThe letter is amazing! Always look forward to your Friday link list.
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend
Spite houses are weird! It's like your are literally building your life around bitterness. Just move (on).
ReplyDeleteThat tiny blue spite house is right around the corner from where I used to live. It's so funny!
ReplyDeleteI keep looking at your adorable photo! Toby has grown into the most precious little boy! It makes me even more excited to welcome my own little baby boy in July. Happy weekend to you.
ReplyDeletecutest little picture of toby's sweet face! hope you have a great weekend. xx
ReplyDeleteThe letter to the friend with memory loss made me tear up - friends are amazing! We should all be so lucky. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteJoanna - Great links for the weekend. Do you know if those self tanning towletts are safe if you are expecting? I am a few weeks behind you and would love to give myself a little color as spring approaches!! Also loved your recent post on Vermont travel. Would love to plan that road trip after baby #2 is born.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend

Update - Just did a little research on self tanners during pregnancy and it appears that they are safe!!!
ReplyDeleteSarah
Really lovely list-- have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat little blue spite house is about five blocks from where I'm sitting now! I never knew the story behind it.. thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteI saw the letter to the friend this morning and was so charmed and loved that she did that for her friend.. awww :)
ReplyDeletere: "spite houses" .. how sad and what a waste of life, to be so mean and bitter.
I have the trench in denim and love it so much !
I am alone with my husband every day .. a mountain would not make any difference :)
We have less than 2 weeks and we will be back in the United States for the first time in over 6 years. Landing in NYC where we will be based while we house hunt .
I Am So Psyched !!!!!
Have a good weekend .. besos.. C
hooray for daylight savings! and the letter to her friend with memory loss was so funny and touching. thanks for sharing!

Alright. Humans yelling like goats yelling like humans?! Made me smile sooooo big. Thank you!

I'm a firm believer in alone together time. My boyfriend and I have been living together for the past 2 1/2 years and he works from home (musician/artist), meaning that he's there A LOT of the time when I am. Finding ways to get alone time has been so crucial to getting the time we each need to decompress and find our own space. I loved the BCC article and promptly forwarded on to him. Thanks so much for sharing.

Have a lovely weekend!

ReplyDeletesuch a sweet photo of you three! xo

What a great idea! Surrounding a window with bookshelves. Since they are so simple, it looks so lovely and refreshing. I just uploaded some living room photos on my blog this last week, but I may have to consider the idea of the bookshelf like that one elsewhere in my home. Love it!
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Katie
I love Gretchen and her books, so jealous! also that article about being along together is great. Thanks for sharing. Happy Friday.

ReplyDeleteThe Pippa Middleton book has been so mocked over here in the UK. Last week she became the face of an upmarket supermarket and it started all over again... The book is rather pretty, but I'm not sure about the DIYs and advice... especially with Pinterest around.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend :)
Aww your life looks so lovely and cozy! very happy for you xx
ReplyDeleteThe goats. Oh the goats! And the people yelling like goats yelling like people! You had me rolling. I think you just made my weekend. Thank you for the friday link love, motherhood monday's and best ever recipe series. The variety is fantastic and on point.
ReplyDeleteAlso, congrats on the bump! Stay strong...we didn't find out the sex either. It's a blast and helps motivate during labor. Promise.
Our leadership needs Babauta's advice about spending less than we make. A balanced budget is indeed a gift to our children.
ReplyDeleteThat short-term memory loss letter is fantastic- especially the last note. It made me chuckle and spit out just a bit of my coffee. What an awesome friend.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love Leo Babauta's advice to his children. Spot on. I am thankful I have a father who, to this day, tells me the same things.
Enjoy a lovely weekend, Joanna!
p.s. another adorable family photo♥
Love the letter. Thank you for sharing.

Fabulous roundup. As usual! Thank you, Jo.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! Maybe we could follow each other on GFC? Please leave me a comment, follow me and then I will follow you back!!! For sure!!

The blue spite house is in my town (Alexandria, VA)! I drive by it frequently on the way to work and always wave...

ReplyDeleteThis weekend will be spent cleaning house and getting the chicken coop ready so that I can get the smelly chicks out of my kitchen one day. LOL. In the process of becoming more self sufficient in the city and it is fun and exhausting with 3 kids under the age of 5. Thankfully blogging about it along the way is helping me stay on track and be true to my values.
ReplyDeleteOh I so wish I could be in NYC for that grilled cheese competition!

Hi!
ReplyDeleteI just have to say: I am about to sell my appartement in Bergen, Norway. Before moving out, I'll be renting out my bedroom - and I recommend you or anyone to come, if only for a short nordic break. The weather is beautiful, people are smiling in the streets, and the coffees at the two cafes (pretty hip à la culture norvégienne) in the neighbourhood tastes better than ever.
Getting nostalgic as im leaving, so really, if you have the possibility to come, do it now!
(those were my thoughts this weekend. just need to try to share the norwegian beauty somewhere!)
Please check out my blog: KatieKCouture.blogspot.com :) thank you so much!!
ReplyDeleteThe memory loss letter was written in our city. They interviewed both girls {she is now mostly fine} and they were just amazed that it had gone viral.
ReplyDeleteDarn you for telling me about the Grilled Cheese Competition!!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great weekend.
I love the zenhabit reference. Thank you! :)
ReplyDeletecan i be a taster in the grilled cheese competition? and i think i may have to print out Leo Babauta's advice to his children and save it for when my little guy is grown. thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteso..mantab tenan gan
ReplyDeletePlease don't anyone buy the Pippa Middleton book. Unless of course you need such outstanding tips such as 'how about eating turkey on Christmas day' and 'a fun game for children at Easter is hiding eggs in the garden'.
ReplyDeleteReally Pippa? Really?!
I just cannot get over those goat videos - the perfect remedy for a bad mood!

ReplyDeleteAfter reading this, I promptly rounded up a group of friends and bought tickets to yesterday's grilled cheese competition. It was awesome! We were all in blissfully satisfied cheese comas by 4pm. Thanks for the recommendation!
