A fresh pair of afghan slipper socks. My beloved old ones were full of holes and the soles had fallen off – it was time. Toasty tootsies for under twenty bucks, yes please! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

Helping friends with their projects! The lovely and talented Nadyne was working on a video to showcase her fabulous, homey and very inviting home-salon Chez Snips so of course I didn’t hesitate. Even with a move to Hudson I still love heading over to Nadyne’s to get my hair cut – it’s like going to a friend’s house. A beautiful, adorable friend with amazing hair. Who proceeds to make YOUR hair amazing, fills you with laughter, and sends you on your way. Seriously, make an appointment.

You’ll also catch a cameo of my dear friend and beautiful mama Bess with brand-new sweet baby Edwin, PLUS a glimpse at the cover of the very first print issue of Pure Green Magazine!!

Nadyne directed me to look like a dork. Actually she didn’t, but perplexingly, that’s exactly how I look. Sorry Nadyne :) Congratulations on your beautiful video, I love it! Happy weekend everyone!

A little flexibility. Everyone gets to break the rules now and then – even giant fuzzfaces who aren’t normally allowed on the bed. Would you look at that is-this-really-happening face? We’ve created a monster. Happy Friday!! Hope you all get to sleep in this weekend.

A Christmas tree. Last year we couldn’t get one, and I was pretty sad about it. I love opening dusty boxes marked “fragile” each year and reminiscing – admiring old pieces and welcoming new ones. The lights, the sparkle, the delicious pine scent… throwing patterns on the walls and adding a cozy comfort to the living room. Did I mention I love Christmas trees?! This one’s never coming down. Have a wonderful weekend!

Sandwiches. Oh man, how I love you, sandwiches. I must endure a limited diet at the best of times so sandwiches are a real treat. For him: bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo and dijon on baguette. For her: leftover grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato, mayo and dijon on gluten-free bread. AND sweet potato wedges roasted with thyme. Yum!! Have a wonderful weekend!!
