Weekend Links.

Saturday, March 23, 2013

 
Happy Saturday! Is it Spring yet? Yes. Does it feel like Spring? No. Okay, then I plan on going back in my cave for another month! Oh, if only that were possible! 

What do you all have planned this cold, albeit Sunny, weekend? Today, was the much anticipated birth of what the LM likes to call "skater mom." Yes, it's true. For some reason or another I have decided to learn how to skateboard. Go ahead, finish laughing, I'll wait. Yes, in an attempt to remain relevant to my two skateboard obsessed boys, I, myself, have decided to give the sport a go. Earlier, the LM and I went for my first 3 hour "lesson" with him as my teacher, and you know what? It was actually kind of fun. I fell REALLY hard, twice, but I surprised myself (and my son) and wasn't half bad. He loved every minute of it, so I'm sure this is something that will be happening every weekend from here on out. I think I am going to need to invest in some serious ice packs! Other than that, we don't have much planned. Which is kind of awesome!

Here are some fun links from around the web to help brighten your weekend! See you all Monday. 


I'm currently obsessed with white nail polish for Spring. Obsessed.

Yet, another reason to go back to France. ( psst my husband and I have been dreaming of what it would be like to up and move to Pairs... I'm pretty sure we aren't the only ones!)

Zigo is having a spring sale! Getting the boys back in this bike is the #1 reason we have been praying for warmer weather.

Confession: I hate salmon with a every ounce of my body. I know it's good for you, so I'm going to attempt to make more of it. I tried this recipe the other night, and was able to finish my plate. My husband, a salmon lover, said it was great!

 As if I needed another reason to love Dax Shepard. This story broke my heart. What a beautiful picture!

Like everyone, I pre-ordered Gwyneth's new cookbook. This article is right on, and I wish I had the strength to resist her charm. #cantbreakfreeofgwynethsspell

I cannot get these shoes out of my head. I swear I would wear them every day for.the.rest.of.my.life. Come next January, these have to be my reward for completing my no shopping challenge!

This is my new haircut! My favorite yet!

My girlfriend sent this to me a few moths back. I read it often when I am in the trenches and in need of a good pep talk.

An Easter project that I plan on tackling this week!

I love everything about this entryway! Everything!

This made me laugh out loud! (and is probably why I wear the same chambray shirt/ gray jeans combo every day!)

This is such a great idea for all those plastic eggs!

The first day that we break 75 degrees, I plan on making these to celebrate! Why does warm weather seem so far away right now?

Have I mentioned before, that I will forever have a bit of an unhealthy love for Kurt Cobain? I love everything about this quote!

On a serious note, I, like most of you, have been outraged by the media coverage, and town coverup of the rape that occurred in Stubenville. As a mother of two boys, this post really spoke to me. I encourage you to read it, and share.

I love your weekend links!! And I think you're so cool to be a "skate mom." How fun! I've only ridden Rob's longboard a few times. It scares me!! All that concrete and or asphalt...gah! So go on with your bad self. I am also loving the white nail polish!! I would send you some warm weather if I could!

Dax Shepard..... I lost it when he told the part about his wife showing up at the hospital. So sad. On skate boarding.... You better not only invest in ice packs but some good elbow, knee and tailbone pad! Lol
