This and That

(The boys’ chalk drawings.)

This week was Spring Break and we had a wonderful time! The boys spent a few days with my parents in San Antonio, and Ryan and I enjoyed our free time and the chance to cross a few things off our To Do list. This weekend, we’ll wrap up the break and get ready for the rest of the school year. Warm weather arrived this week, too, and it will be summer before we know it. Here are a few things that caught my eye this week.

The California suburb with a modern aesthetic, designed by Joseph Eichler after World War II.

Hopes for the sixth season of “Downton Abbey,” and a fun quiz to discover your style icon. (If you take it, let me know who you get.)

Have you ever noticed how shows from Canada and Britain just look different? I have, and I found an explanation.

Spring Break means South by Southwest in Austin, and this year is the first anniversary of a terrible accident downtown.

The new pub-shed trend. Ryan wants one of these.

And baby names in danger of extinction. (Claudine is very pretty.)

Have a great weekend!
