This and That

(I always love the light this time of year.)

We eased back into our routine this week, and now it’s Friday again! The weather is really cold (for central Texas) and we’re preparing for a cozy weekend indoors. I’m hoping the sun starts shining again soon, but winter is very short-lived here, so I remind myself to enjoy it. Here are a few things that caught my eye this week.

“Write about who you are, not who you want to become.”

An activist from Kenya offers advice to America.

A list of ethical brands in Austin.

Kareem Abdul-Jabar writes about Mycroft Holmes.

Arthur takes on “Downton Abbey.” Arthur is a big deal at our house these days, and I can’t wait to watch this with my boys!

I never wear nail polish on my hands, and it seems that’s the new trend for winter.

Pictures of abandoned theme parks. Because stuff like this never gets old.

Have a wonderful weekend and stay warm!
