We had dinner at Apple. It was as cool as you’d expect (they give you free apples and have a spectacular burrito bar, and there is a street called “Results Way,” which is amazing). P.S. Still pretty excited about my new glasses.
Looking for a great gift for a mom-to-be that’s for her, as opposed to yet another onesie for her newborn? Try HelloFlo’s new postpartum care packages.
I love Melissa McCarthy so much: “I’ve got two little kids, and the checklist is: ‘Are they OK? Is [my husband] OK? Is the house on fire?’ Then we’re good. Everything else, I’ll chip away at. There’s a long list of what I could do better, but I try to focus.” (via People)
Not being as brave as Kerry Washington, I basically missed out on The Summer Of Crop Tops, which is a bummer because I think they’re really cute. This one is simple and especially adorable and affordable and exactly what I would have worn all summer long had I owned a waist.
In search of a backpack that’s sleek enough for the office? Here you go.
This profile of full-face transplant recipient Richard Norris is a must-read…mostly because it’s a real portrayal of a real (albeit extraordinary) person, not a happily-ever-after fairytale.
20 genius suitcase-packing hacks – love the bras-and-underwear one (via Anthea).
This is my view nearly every single night these days, and I am already mourning the loss of our apartment’s bathtub upon our return to the East Coast. Mostly because it means that I won’t have the opportunity to steal my son’s bubble bath anymore.
This post on MommyEverAfter pretty much sums up what I expect second-child-rearing will be like.
You know how the most awesome, comfortable t-shirt you own is always a falling-apart one that belonged to an ex-boyfriend? This super-broken-in muscle shirt is ex-boyfriend-tee perfection, minus the bad memories.
This man bought 23 apple pies in order to spite a small child.
I decided to just borrow a Boppy from my friend Morgan and call it a day for our newborn’s seating options during the couple of weeks we’ll be in Cali after her arrival, but ooooo am I ever excited to get home and start playing with our space egg.
Speaking of Morgan, because we know by now that she has phenomenal taste in shoes: yesterday we hung out and she was wearing these, and they were such a perfect combination of elegant and practical that I had to tell you about them (especially like them in red for late summer/fall).
Was Andi Dorfman slut-shamed on the Bachelorette After The Final Rose special? I think I agree with the writer of this article (I know, I know, I’m late on the draw with this one…but I’m now fully entranced by Bachelor In Paradise and so my mind is still on all things Bachelor-related).
Perfect everyday crystal studs.
This simple tutorial for how to transform your favorite jeans into maternity jeans (and then back again postpartum) is just awesome.
My friend Katie Rush’s first EP came out today (’80s-inspired new wave pop) – check it out here.
It’s getting close to that time when I’ll be able to get my next tattoo! (No tattoos when you’re pregnant, obviously.) I am SO EXCITED. I want to do something incorporating sun (to symbolize this summer) and birds (one for each child), but am also very open to suggestion, so: anyone have one, or know of a site with especially great art ideas?
I’m starting to think about fall boots. These are rugged and amazing and comfortable-looking and would look cute starting right about now with denim shorts and a vintage blouse.
