Weekend Round-up!

Loving the long-awaited heat blast out here! We spent all morning yesterday at Mother's Beach, and I relished in finally having a child big enough to play on her own. I lay in the sunshine on a beach towel up on the dry sand while Freida frolicked at the sea shore, attempted a sand castle construction, dug giant holes, and ran to and from the waters edge filling and lugging back buckets of salty sea water for 2 whole hours. Bliss!

Here are some things I've been meaning to share:

- Remember the tree bookshelf? It's finally here!

- This "TweetSeat" made me smile.

- This even-more-exciting TV news makes me want to dance!

- My latest article over at the Algemeiner.

- Those Appaman suits + vans sneakers!

- I'm thinking about this breakfast for Sunday night dinner... mmm!

Wishing you all a fabulous sunshine-soaked weekend!

Born to Be Wild

I'm very much looking forward to viewing this film, and I thought I'd share the excitement! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv2Af-H7ZnI&feature=player_embedded]

The cinematography is breathtaking, as is the immense vibrance of color! Plus, K'naan makes everything even more amazing, and a Morgan Freeman narration = film gold!

The Royal Smooch!

Yes, this epic kiss(×2!) was romantic... but how incredible is the Duchess's hat?? :)

Also, this made me smile:

Birthday Feature!

Nothing like starting out my birthday morning by waking up to this Freidafroo feature on Ohdeedoh!! :)

Shout-out to the very best, most creativity-inspiring spot on the www! Thanks Apartment Therapy!!

Princess: Gone Sporty.

It's no secret that Crew Cuts Kids is one of the best kept secrets in your child's closet, but some of their productions still come to amaze me! I was just smitten when I spotted this tom-boy-ish ballerina tee in their collectible cotton collection.

I think I'd describe my daughter as sporty-princess-chic, and this tee is totally personifying that coined definition (which has me getting even more excited about the Royal Wedding - Kate's style is definitely sporty-chic, and she's about to be coroneted as a real live princess!). Somehow, Freida's always spotted in tutus + converse, tank tops + fairy wings, wand in one hand + hammer in another etc. She loves sports, and butterflies, and construction, and babydolls, and breakdancing, and ballet.... she's quite the little cocktail, and J.Crew nailed it! Leave it to those folks to turn ballet into as athletic a sport as basketball...
