I somehow went ahead and lost all of Goldie’s bathing suits over the course of our cross-country adventure, but that’s okay, because this exists.
Just picked up this book for my son, and it’s kind of awesome – we do a couple of pages every afternoon, and he gets a sticker when he completes them, and I think I’m having as much fun with it as he is.
Going somewhere nautical-ish in the next little while? This dress is adorable and under $30.
Oh look! It’s the last thing I want to do ever in my life ever!
Remember those tunics I wore last summer to the total exclusion of virtually everything else in my closet? This may be this summer’s version.
You may have noticed in my most recent home renovation video that I scored one of those midcentury arc lamps for TWELVE DOLLARS (Goodwill, whee!). While this is obviously the most exciting thing in the world, it’s slightly less exciting because I just realized that you can totally get a brand-new imitation version (which, let’s be honest, mine probably is anyway) for not all that much. I mean, not twelve dollars, but still: not all that much.
The finishing touch on our bathroom makeover (ooooh I’m so excited to show it to you): this shower curtain.
Well, this is the funniest thing I’ve seen in forever. (Fuck Your Noguchi Coffee Table, via Tumblr.)
Something else I seem to have misplaced: my favorite denim cutoffs. Clearly this is a tragedy of epic proportions, so replacements had to be secured pronto (here’s how to do it, because oh there is an art to this).
Speaking frankly about motherhood – all experiences of motherhood – matters. This is brave stuff. (We Need To Talk About Women Who Regret Motherhood, via Jezebel.)

Something really great about California is that there are apparently no annoying bugs flitting around your head when you’re just trying to drink your sangria on the hammock and not deal with bug-buzzing (other than carpenter bees, which rival sprickets on the Terrifying Scale, but let’s just skip talking about those, hmm?). If I were still living in our old place (which was located next to a lake and was thus Mosquito Central) I’d totally pick up one of these. It’s not gorgeous, but it seems like it might actually work.
When I go to a movie premiere in my fantasy world tonight, I think I shall wear this.
African pygmy hedgehogs and miniature pigs. Stop. The mother-effing. Presses.
Does caring about “winning” the breakup mean you’ve already lost? (Winning The Breakup In The Age Of Instagram, via NY Mag.)
It can be a tough look to pull off, but oh it can be amazing. (10 Times Wallpaper In The Bathroom Actually Looked Really Great, via Apartment Therapy.)
Speaking of wallpaper: yarrrr this is cute.
You know what’s the best thing in the entire world? Having a washer and dryer located on the same floor as the clothing that is being washed and dried. No links; just saying because it must be said.
