This and That

(Plants on my back porch at dusk.)

This week we settled into our normal routine and tried to stay cool in the heat.  It’s only going to get hotter from here, so I’m always on the hunt for inside activities for the boys.  And the BIG news at our house this week is that Rhys is officially out of diapers!  He’s moved on to pull-ups, which means he’s inching closer to becoming fully potty-trained.  One day soon, I’ll be able to cross that off my description over there on the sidebar.  Here are a few things that caught my attention this week.

An interesting article on Macklemore and Ryan Lewis‘ unusual rise to fame.  “I’ma take your grandpa’s style…”

If you missed Monday’s Google Doodle in honor of Maurice Sendak’s birthday, you can catch it here.  Be sure to watch the entire clip, because it’s so adorable.

A gorgeous wedding photo shoot featuring real-life brides.

Designer India Hicks profiled on Cote de Texas and interviewed on The Skirted Roundtable.

How astronauts’ wives became the first reality stars.

Using art and television to discuss scary subjects with children.

This weekend, we’ve got a birthday party and several Father’s Day celebrations, too.  Have a wonderful weekend!
