ALL GOOD THINGS.

some good things that are making me smile today. first and foremost, my handsome "almost" husband didn't have to work. it's rare that he gets a day off, so when he does, i'm kind of in heaven. another good thing... the fact that i am finally getting a handle on the laundry situation over here. these cute little socks hanging to try are pretty good too. fresh rolls of washi tape just begging to be used, thats a good thing. i love to hang pictures with it and to make gifts extra pretty.

the illustrations in this original copy of i can fly that i recently found, another good thing.

and lastly we're listening to christmas music over here. always a good thing. milla plum is OBSESSED with zooey deschanel and loves to listen to all of our she and him records. her favorite is a very she & him christmas and shes been playing it over and over. she also announced today that maybe, just maybe, she would like to dress up as zooey for halloween. cutest!

p.s. one more good thing for today... the winners of our october giveaway have been posted. take a look and see if you were one of the big winners! xo.

AND SO...

...here i sit. numb, heart aching with tears running down my face after reading emily rapp's incredible story of love and grief. i cannot imagine the strength and courage it must take to be such a mother. my heart goes out to her. this story is sad but it is also eye opening and inspiring, and that is why i am sharing it with you here. i don't think i have ever read anything that has touched me so deeply. i'm off to give my kids an extra kiss while they sleep.
