Fantastic new discovery: RUUM, a kids' clothes line that has exactly the kinds of stuff I want to put my son in (for exactly the right price). Favorite pieces: the denim jacket pictured above, their henleys, and a pair of jeans so great I wish it came in Kendrick Size.

Check out the full line here (there's girls' stuff, too).

You should always brake for rainbows.

 Alright, it's officially getting cold out. I cannot tell you how much better a pair of these will make your life (speaking from experience).

 I made this pie for my in-laws' visit this weekend. It is delicious (or at least it looks delicious; I am willing myself to leave it intact until their arrival). P.S. Can you tell I'm sort of into mint green kitchen stuff? If you are too, you can get that pie stand here and the Kitchenaid mixer in that amazing color here (it's called "Pistachio Green").

 These booties are a perfect fall buy: they work for everyday but are interesting enough to stand out in a crowd. Also well-priced. Win!

See the happy faces in that photo? That pretty much sums up how I feel about the surprise I have for you today.

I am SO EXCITED.

OK, so whenever we take a long car trip with our kids, I start out sitting in the front like a normal person, but within minutes I end up wedged into the teeny, tiny space in between their two car seats, distributing pacifiers and sippy cups and toys, my purse crushed under my feet and an action figure stabbing its plastic sword into the small of my back. And at some point during these rides, I always fall into a daydream: our car has been replaced by a gorgeous (and huge) RV with a refrigerator and a breakfast table and a bed covered in a big, colorful quilt, and instead of sitting in traffic on I-95 we're driving along Route 66, stopping to buy dreamcatchers and eat BBQ and pulling over to the side of the road at night to stare up at the wide-open, star-filled sky.
