The One with the Little Things (Volume 8)

Heard: I’m aware that this is a love song, but it always reminds me of the end of summer, and the beginning of fall. Listen to the words and see for yourself.

Read: Vogue, Instyle, and other fashion magazines’ fall issues. One of the many reasons I love this season so much!



Watched: This perfect rendition of “Smile” by Sara Bareilles during the Emmy’s and Billy Crystal’s tribute to Robin Williams—both endearing and heartfelt.

Made: an effort to welcome fall into my home by switching our summer décor into autumn.

And Lastly...

Labor Day is here! Which means a three day weekend, which means extra hours spent with my husband and my lovely daughter. I fully intend to enjoy each bit of it!

Have a safe and happy weekend.

Watched: One of my favorite music videos of all time

Read: I’ve always been curious of how Chris Martin managed the song and move backwards. This article finally solves that mystery. It's quite amusing how it was done.

Made: A back-to-school basket for my cousin (whose first day of high school is looming over her lovely summer days—only 2 weeks!). I’ve forgotten how much I love shopping for school supplies!

Heard: On repeat on my Ipod at the moment

And Lastly...



I’m craving colder temperatures and cozy layers. Is it that time yet?

 Enjoy your weekend!

Wore: My recently purchased workout clothes. A little treat for myself as I try to keep myself healthy

 Enjoy your weekend!

The One with the Little Things (Volume 5)

Watched

The Theory of Everything trailer. Stephen Hawking and his mind has always been so fascinating to me, but it’s interesting to see the other side of him as well. I can’t wait to watch this!

Heard: My girl call me “mama” for the first time. Who knew a two-syllable word could sound so sweet? 


Read: Max Schierson’s recent blog entry regarding leaving his job to spend more time with family. Many have experienced this from a mother’s perspective, but very few from the father’s. It’s an interesting take, and well worth the read

Wore: Work out clothes. The weather’s been quite nice here this past week, allowing my daily two-mile walks (with my little lady in tow) to be a bit more enjoyable, and a little less sweaty.

Made:



This fort for my little lady. Nothing complicated, just a sheet over her newly acquired table. She loves it though.

And Lastly: Such a great message, and a helpful reminder.
