Things I Love Thursday

OH MY STARS. y'all! The kindness and supportive words you left on yesterday's post (and the millions of tweets, emails, texts, and Tumblr Asks!) were totally overwhelming. I went back and re-read them all a few times and I think I cried every. single. time. I've had friends and blog readers offer up clothes for Toby, endless amounts of advice, and resources to check out for our new adventure. I'm blown away. There truly are no words for the amount of gratitude I have for each and every one of you. It's so easy to forget that real live people read this blog daily... maybe the shield of the computer screen and miles and miles of distance helps camouflage that, but I'm so elated that you drop by here! That reminds me... I need to finish a post on this very topic soon! Anyway, let's look at pretty things!

these sweet girls and their sweet dresses ♥

this is the most factual statement ever. ♥

this pretty print of a pretty city + colour song. ♥

♥ the cutest lemonade stand there ever was. ♥

this The Smiths painting ♥

this!

this sentiment. ♥

♥ this is the coolest slide to ever exist! ♥

♥ this ball of wrinkles.  ♥

♥ this is very accurate. ♥

Other Awesome Things:


// I am in love with these party invites and might use them as an excuse to throw a little party at our new home this Summer!

// This is a such an awesome furniture restyle! A thrift store TV cart turned stylish bedside table. 

// A few blogs that I'm totally loving right now: one, two, and three.

// I'm super stoked on the new arrow bangle bracelet I just got in the mail from PoshLocket!

// I tagged Susannah in my 11 Things post, and she just posted hers! Check it out! (Leave a comment below with a link to your post if you did the 11 Things meme!)

// I've been going through the product pages of Shana Logic this morning and I'm totally enamored with this little (Prince!) fox ring. (It also comes as a locket necklace + there's a squirrel version too!)

// I want ALL of these headbands to get into my house. ESPECIALLY this one!

// I know Toby is a little young for this still, but this is such a neat idea! We're slowly teaching him how to save his "coins" and put them in a piggy bank in his room (so he can buy toys), and this is such a fun way to let them earn it. (I also love the idea of "Mom bucks") I promise I won't turn into a mommy blog though! ;)

// I'm loving the oars as the headboard in this sweet home tour!

// Okay... Baked oatmeal, with strawberries, bananas and chocolate! I know. Yum! -- And puff pastry waffles filled with jam. I want to try these. -- Baked eggplant fries (+ 9 other ways to cook eggplant!) -- I don't know what Chicken Broccoli Supreme is, but I think I'd like to eat it. :)

// This is a really great Victory Roll Tutorial. I still don't think I'd ever be able to do it on my own, but that's more because I really hate following directions. 

// Need an album for your rad Instax Mini photos? Here you go! So cute.

What are you loving this week?

PS: Peep the new sponsors on the sidebar! They're fabulous!

    You became a mom just like the rest of us - suddenly && in a split second! We're all the same :D

  11. Hmm, I can't tell if Blogger ate my comment. Basically I wanted to say that you'd be an awesome mommy blogger, and that I did the 11 Things Meme as well :)

  12. I always look forward to you Things I Love Thursday posts! I think I'm going to need to institute this as a tradition on my blog, though I like starting my Sundays with Lazy Sunday Links. Hmmm...

  15. I have limp noodle hair and I was able to do victory rolls(with like a gallon of hairspray), with your hair abilities I think you could do it.

  20. First of all, I'm so flattered you included my blog. I think I'm still a little red! :)

    And everything about this post is making me wish it were summer, as if I needed another reason. I cannot wait. Those popsicle invites are adorable! I think I should send out actual invites to social events more often. It's becoming a lost gesture, it seems.

  21. I MUST go through that water slide! Thrilling. I love the randomness of today's assembled thoughts. You rock!

  29. i did the 11 things meme but with a twist! ;)

    i do a weekly "10 things Tuesday" feature on my blog, so for this meme, I did it a little differently! http://www.withmycamera.com/2012/02/10-things-tuesday-with-twist.html

  30. omg - i havent' seen that 'i fight like a girl' picture for years!!

  31. That water slide is at the Golden Nugget hotel in Las Vegas! It's the coolest thing!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I love the first picture, the girl in the middle looks a little like Jessica Chastain? Their dresses are gorgeous. I just got back from a vacation to the south and I will miss proper sweet tea so much, the sweet tea was sooo good everywhere we went. I wish Northerners would learn the sweet tea secret! I love 'The Smiths' and that water slide is so awesome, do you know where it is?

  33. I would be so down if you did some mom blogging. I'd love to see your take on balancing style and kids. It must be so crazy to suddenly have a 3 year old! My son is 18 months and I can't even imagine having no kid one day and a toddler the next. Madness! But so much fun, I hope. Maybe you could blog about some kid stuff every 2 weeks or something. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  34. I agree with many of the comments above -- I would totally support you "mom blogging" it up! I am not yet a parent but you have a great writing style and a beautiful perspective on the universe... I can't wait to hear more of your stories about life and your family!

    However LCH proceeds in the future... I will keep reading!
