This and That
(Pretty soap from Paris.)
I spent most of this week recovering from last week, and I’m ready to feel better. We’re having some really cold weather right now, and even though it finally feels like fall, I’m already missing the warm sunshine. It looks like the cold is here to stay for a while, so I’ll make the best of it and plan to enjoy a relaxing weekend. Here are a few things that caught my attention this week.
Downton Abbey’s Season 5 starts in January, but here’s a war of words between Violet and Isobel. You can guess who wins.
A fascinating renovation of a local landmark.
When your youngest wants to stay little forever. Rhys tells me this all the time.
But it’s also okay to imagine life without kids. I always say I can’t remember life without kids.
Parents left to grieve after their Marine son’s tragic death.
And haunting images of the segregated south.
Have a wonderful weekend and stay warm!
The imagining life without kids article is me every single day. I juggle between, “I love him so much I want to burst” and “if I have to vaccuum one more time, I’m going to burst.” I often think about our life in NY, but it’s fine right where it is, in the past. I wouldn’t change this life for anything.
I think it’s completely normal to feel that way. People always tell you before you have kids that your life will change, and you can’t really imagine it until it happens. Then when it does, you can’t imagine going back, either.
