Currently

waiting (anxiously) for the next episode of Serial.

listening to Jake Gyllenhaal read The Great Gatsby for the ABM book club.

finishing Unbroken.

wearing my 36 pieces so happily.

making it to yoga on Tuesday mornings.

sharing more about the October edition of MAKE29 this weekend. (do you get the newsletter?)

going to see Gone Girl tomorrow.

becoming a member of the San Diego Zoo.

deciding Ellerie will be a lady bug for Halloween.

heading up to Sacramento for a break at the end of the month.

bringing my fiddle leaf fig back from the dead.

appreciating the chance to wear a scarf, if only for two hours in the morning.

deciding this bread will be the perfect way to welcome fall.

enjoying writing out my business story.

feeling like a new person after a month of daycare two days a week.

loving our daycare teachers.

knowing it really does take a village.

laughing so hard at Modern Family this season.

thinking a rug in this phenomenal style will be my next DIY project.

fighting a Candy Crush addiction (yet again!).

saying thank you! for your kind words this week (and every week!).

feeling good.

    I don’t comment much but your blog is one of about 3 blogs that I read consitently! And my little bug is going to be a lady bug too…it’s just too fitting for her! I didn’t even need to think about it! My bug is just a week or so younger than yours and I love seeing what E. is up to!

    I just listened to all the Serial episodes yesterday and am so excited for next week! Also super excited to see how you DIY a rug in that style.
    I did not get the newsletter, but I’ve gotten all the previous ones, so I’m not sure what happened?

    I just started sending my two year old to preschool twice a week as well. It’s been such a lifesaver for my work (and sanity)! I feel like I’ve regained an old part of me that was missing to be able to create uninterrupted. And, I have a whole new appreciation for childcare workers.

    I have been into Serial, too! And I can’t wait to hear more about your capsule wardrobe. I just discovered the unfancy blog and learned about a capsule wardrobe for the first time. I think it’s an excellent idea.

    Finally getting around to listening to this. I can see how you got caught up in Serial — AND I grew up in that area.
