Sunday Snippets: Anniversary Edition

The husband and I are celebrating ten years since our first date this week. In other news, I'll be off to pluck gray hairs. :)

I definitely need this Because ball pits are the best. And this.

This man should not be legally allowed to be this adorable If you aren't watching Sleepy Hollow, I feel sorry for you. See also, Tom Hiddleston.

Love Dooce. That is all. The twitter grabs she find are usually hysterical, but the "dinosaurs are really Jesus horses" killed me completely.

Oh, the feels. I still have my teddy from childhood, who has been repaired countless times. No better feeling than cuddling with an old favorite stuffed animal.

What.The.Fuck No seriously. They are advocating kidnapping now?!?!

I need these hanging on my walls.

Great tips to simplify your life Awesome ideas.

Yes, why can't we do this? Oh, right because there is big money in prisons here.

Ugh. This guy. Dateable my ass.

So sad this is true

LOL & hahahahaha & I feel bad for laughing.

All cats. Everywhere. They own us and know it.

Hysterical

Sunday Snippets: Finally Fall

I'm happy to get back on schedule around these parts, had some work issues that meant I was basically living in my office for most of September. Now that that has finally calmed down, there are two book reviews that are forthcoming (one hopefully this week!)

In the meantime, here are some reads from around the web.

An older article/list but saw it reblogged recently- I've seen different variations of this type of anti-racist lists, but always reblogging.

Beautiful- I love how the other pasta companies have responded.

I need these printed

How disgustingly cute is this picture? Do they make socks for kitties?

Food, in a different light The starkness is correctly startling.

Newspapers, in a beautiful light I would have these framed around my house. Then again, if I had everything framed around my house, my walls would buckle.

A neat way of thinking about books

*headdesk* for all of this

Around the web....

I realized I had all these awesome things saved in my bookmarks folder and wanted to share them with all of you!

Gorgeous work

Savoring the little things

I would so have this in my house It would be a great conversation starter.

I plan on doing this next spring I realized I've never actually lived alone (family to college to husband) and when I was younger, it was too expensive. I'm taking a trip to PA to visit some state parks next March all by myself and I am giddy with excitement.

Our marriage is about seeing the spark of passion in each other and making sure to help grow that spark into a roaring fire. It’s me standing on the sidelines giving an epic slow-clap as he approaches the finish line called graduation. It’s him rubbing my shoulders and letting me talk his ear off about an amazing wedding, even if it is at midnight and he has to work the next day.

Our marriage is an environment that nurtures creativity and encourages leaps of faith. While to some, we may not have “made it,” I know that in his eyes I am the most successful, and in my eyes he is the most driven. How could I not rely on my marriage for motivation and inspiration?

How flipping beautiful is this?

Female Artists

A great woman...

She was my father's former boss's wife. We used to eat at their house monthly and she would set up coloring books and crayons for me because she knew I like to draw. She encourage me to follow my heart.

You can see more of her work here:
