Cool Stuff I Like

Happy Friday!! Wow, it was a rough re-entry into non-Disney life this past week, I tell you. But the very spring-like weather we've had the past few days here is making it all ok. I'm having a hard time believing that the weather people are calling for the possibility of a little snow in a few days. I'll believe it when I see it. Anyway....it's the last day of February and I officially have SPRING FEVER. But before we leave winter all behind, my Friday pic today is of a little toddler I snapped walking in the snow a few weeks back. I know it's been a long long winter for many of you. Let's hope it ends soon! Goodbye winter!


COOL STUFF this week:

Had a stressful/tiresome/dreary week? This here will make it ALL BETTER, trust me.

Calming Hot Chocolate.

Cannot wait for 'Princess Kaguya'!!!!!

Tasha Tudor soup.

Totally making this for St. Paddy's day breakfast!

Just LOOK at this guy's magical photographs.

Another cool stuff list you will enjoy.

Dinner conversation starters. (we like to play truth or lie -- you tell two things about your day, and the other people have to decide which is the truth and which is the lie. also rose and thorn -- what was the best part of your day? what was the worst?)

Facts you never knew about 'Dirty Dancing' (saw this film seven times IN THE THEATER)

This is the year I make my own lemon curd!


Cool Book of the Week:  This past month, Julia has been happily plowing through 'The Spiderwick Chronicles' (about a family of kids adventuring in a magical world inhabited by trolls, dwarves, goblins and faeries.) And much to my surprise, I discovered that this fantastic looking companion book to the series exists, called 'Care and Feeding of Sprites'!!!! I am getting this ASAP. The reviews say the art is hang-on-the-wall incredible and the book is divided into sections like "Obtaining Your Sprite" and "Housing Your Sprite" and "The Many Moods of Your Sprite". I was going to look for it at the library for sure, but this sounds so amazing, if the library doesn't have it, I'm a-gonna buy it. Julia will FLIP over this, I just know it.

Have a lovely weekend! Are you watching the Oscars? Idina Menzel will be singing 'Let it Go' from 'Frozen'!!!!!!!!!!
