Full disclosure: I love having them match.
What are you doing this weekend? I’m having a little Oscars party with some friends, and we’re doing potluck Italian food and wine. Apparently we’re getting more snow too?! SO MANY SWEAR WORDS. I try not to be this negative, but people. We can’t even walk out there. Entire portions of town are blocked off for fear of giant (we’re talking five feet long) icicles falling and stabbing your unsuspecting head as you window shop. Who wants to be killed by an icicle? Nobody, that’s who. It’s getting ridiculous. Let’s move on.
I saw this place in our most recent Architectural Digest (my eye-candy magazine) and now I really, really want to go. In this same issue: Michael Bay’s incredible home. That shower! That everything!
Want to win a free wardrobe for a year ($1200 value)? No? Who are you? Yes? Then head over here. And hurry, it ends on the 22nd.
This skirt. Target, ya done good. Real good.
Good news for the egg farmers! (Egg farmers?)
I love this picture of my friend’s very snowy walk.
We watched this movie the other night and it was really good. Especially loved seeing Oprah. (Yes, still missing her, every damn day at 4:00.) Forest Whitaker is great in it.
I always love the Trader Joe’s end caps where they have all their new products. I just saw these lemons there the other day. I love lemon anything, but genuinely have no idea what to do with these. Can anyone tell me?
We spent a day mall-walking last week (we’re those people!) and this dress caught my eye. Like a wear all summer long dress (t-shirt material!). Dress up, dress down, perfect.
This article: Masters of Love. “There’s a habit of mind that the masters have.. which is this: they are scanning social environment for things they can appreciate and say thank you for. They are building this culture of respect and appreciation very purposefully. Disasters are scanning the social environment for partners’ mistakes.”
This proposal. Romantic, check! Men in uniform, check! Pink flowers, check!
That’s all folks. Have a good weekend. And take your Vitamin D.
I lived in St. Petersburg, Russia for a year and death by icicle is a real thing. I'd never thought of it before. Scary!
i believe it! it's like having knives (freezing cold knives!) dangling above your heads…
Use those lemons for a roast chicken – YUM!
At daycare drop off this morning someone mentioned their husband was hit in the head with an icicle yesterday here on the South Shore. Stitches and everything. Ugh!
see?! IT'S CRAZY OUT THERE. mother nature's trying to knock us off one by one.
The lemons can be used in a Moroccan style chicken tangine, or with Spanish style garlic shrimp or also in sandwiches (Israeli sabich) and salads. I have been wanting to make my own preserved lemons for a while now…but I'm totes just going to head to TJ's a buy some now.
Oh man. I really really need to be grateful we don't have a lot of snow. I just want a snow day tomorrow. Please. Trader Joe's is my jam. I want to marry it.
I cut myself with an icicle once and still wearing a scar. Whenever I tell the story everyone is looking at me like I'm the crazy one of the family (or watched too much Grey's Anatomy) huh..
I use those lemons for tartes or with grilled vegetables.
I'm hosting an Oscar night here too and bevor that I plan to watch Birdman with the husband so I have seen at last three of the nominated films.
Currently my biggest fear in life is dying via icicle. I've never looked up while walking so often before in my life.
I am grateful it's not just me. Most people who I explain this to think I am nuts.
I make my own preserved lemons and mostly use them to make hummus! I love this recipe: http://www.freshtart.com/blog/creamy-fluffy-hummus-the-way-its-supposed-to-be/9280006
Love the matching leggings! You need some that say, "mama." haha
I had the same question, re: preserved lemons recently. This article is helpful: http://www.thekitchn.com/5-ways-to-use-up-a-jar-of-preserved-lemons-ingredient-spotlight-187451 – I really like the idea of putting slices of the preserved lemon in pasta.
This is completely off topic but you might have to change your header to 6 kids!! All of those kiddos make you one blessed lady. 😉 From the way you write, I know you enjoy it, too!
Have a great weekend and do what you have to do to stay sane in that snow globe you're living in!
