1. Have you tried Trader Joe's Speculoos Cookie & Cocoa Swirl Butter?? I'd tried the plain old cookie butter before. It was just okay. Add chocolate, however, and it's like little bits of heaven in your mouth. Yes. It's that good. I may or may not have been just scooping it out of the jar and eating it plain. You know, I'm still nursing a baby...so I definitely need those extra calories, right...right? ;)
2. I am obsessed with yellow dresses right now. These three are all from Boden. I have zero need for a yellow dress, but I really, really love them. In fact, I'm pretty sure I would not even look good in a yellow dress...but that doesn't make me want one any less!
3. This evening the baby, my daughter, and I are driving to my hometown in Northern Wisconsin for a few family events. Last time I went (driving by myself + 3 kids) we got stuck in a snowstorm, Henry had 3 epic tantrums, it took us almost twice as long to get there (it's normally a 4 hour drive), AND I forgot my entire bag of clothes and toiletries sitting on the couch at home. I'm feeling like this trip is guaranteed to be better than the last! It better be, or I may never go back...sorry, Mom. ;)
4. I love, love, love Ingrid Michaelson. I've been to a few of her concerts, and her songs are some of my all-time favorites. She has a new album out, and this is kind of like a throwback to the old Ingrid - simple, slow, meaningful. :)
5. I took this photo recently. I love it - because it shows my life as it really is. It's chaotic. It's creative. It's bright. It's far from perfect...but it's good. Happy Friday, and have a great weekend! - Check back tomorrow for a fun National Scrapbook Day Blog Hop!
