Have a Lovely Weekend.

What are you up to this weekend? We’re going to visit my mom, and we’re planning to bake cookies with the boys. Update: Traffic getting out of the city was truly insane tonight, so we ended up missing our flight! The boys were in tears in the cab — definitely one of those days. So, we’ll be staying home in Brooklyn this weekend:) Also, such awesome news about the new bills! Hope you have a great one, and meanwhile, here are a few fun links from around the web…

I love “The Longest, Shortest Time” podcast! It’s the best! It’s helped me feel not so alone on this parenting journey. Also, I love Terry Gross, so can’t wait to listen to this one.

Great link list! Especially love the 49 phrases to calm an anxious child (I kind of like it for myself, too :).

Have recently re-discovered running, and am smacking my forehead for not starting-up again sooner.

Oh, and that little Mia Tindall is so cute. Makes my heart swell!

Thanks for sharing!

What I would love to see on your blog sometime is a tour of a old, historical apartment building in NYC, starting with the outside, leading up the stairway, showing the hallway, and then into a beautifully restored apartment. It seems like there are so many cool, beautiful apartment buildings in your city and a full tour from outside to inside would be wonderful. Also, from a California resident who has never been to your city, an explanation of the different parts of NYC and what makes each section unique and special.

The rainbow pillow is BRILLIANT. Using shirts that used to be worn by a friend’s former husband (he passed away a year ago), I made two memory snuggly bears for a friend’s children. She has four children. It took quite a bit of time to make the two bears that I made… for the other two children, I now plan to make cute rainbow pillows!

Oh no, I get the worst anxiety in the hours leading up to leaving for the airport because I’m afraid of missing my flight! So sorry that happened to you guys. What a time to use those anxiety-reducing phrases (for kids and adults)!

Thank you for this wonderful list! I love Terry Gross and look forward to listening to the podcast. But I especially loved the list of new faces on the Dollar bills – amazing! Also, your niece’s name is Elizabeth Cady, isn’t it? Such a great name-twin. :) I still think of her and your sister often and ordered Paul’s book.
Lastly, I finally dare say it, I read “The Girl on the Train” following everyone’s recommendation but really didn’t like it – I thought all of the characters but especially the female ones were kind of annoying being so obsessed with a variety of men who all treated them badly in one way or another. The trailer seems equally unsppealing to me but then again I am just not really a thriller kind of girl. :) Have a great weekend with your Mum! xx
