Hello friendsies. Are you well this Friday? I surely hope so. Are you loving the textile explosion that my kiddo was sporting the other day? Is this fantastic or is this fantastic? I've never in my life worn anything so fantastic, and that makes me a little sad.
COOL STUFF to delight and amaze you! Or to keep boredom away for 2 minutes. Whatevs.

I want to have a sandwich party now.
Might this be the next series to replace Julia's beloved Junie B.'s? (she's read them all and is so sad there aren't any more.)

I want to send out cards like this!
You won't believe these pictures. You just won't believe it.
It's been a long time since I found a blog and just kept scrolling and scrolling, reading the back posts....
Also loving this online mag, The Chalkboard, which is kind of about everything good for you.
Check out the trailer for this movie. I can't wait!
How cute are these tiny little paper bags?
Sundaes on a Spoon.
Cool Book of the Week: My daughter has checked out Jan Brett's 'On Noah's Ark' from her school library for me three weeks in a row. She said, "Mama, I know you like Jan Brett's art, so I got this for you, and maybe you can write about it on your blog." BLESS HER LITTLE HEART. And I just hadn't gotten around to it because I am more scatterbrained than the wind, and now, HERE IT IS.
It's such a great rendition of the story! There is no mention of any religious aspect. Just one day, one of Noah's grandkids hears him say that there is going to be a lot of rain coming and they all need to get on this big boat with a bunch of animals. As usual, Jan Brett's art amazes with its intricacy and vibrant beauty. I had no idea she had even written a version of this story, until my kiddo came home with it! Gorgeous. And it makes the Noah story accessible and fun, without any scary overtones of guess-what-everyone-else-dies-because-they-are-wicked.
Have a lovely weekend! Oh my, it's Memorial Day weekend, isn't it? I forgot! I have a post ready for Monday, so if you're bored, please do stop by!
