hello dear kids
My friend Devon turned me on to the Etsy shop Hello Dear Kids. Such cuteness!

djuna at 3 months

Djuna at 3 months is all sweetness and smiles. She's a great sleeper, going to bed around 8pm and waking up at 4am for early morning nurse sessions. She loves Stella; Djuna watches her with big, wide eyes, and smiles whenever Stella looks her way or plays near her. She loves being talked to and smiled at, and she goes anywhere and does anything without much fuss.
We lucked out big time with this kid. She is dreamy.

I can't wait to read the new Donna Tartt.
Cookies! Shayna texted me about these yesterday and Stella and I promptly set to work making them. We put in half the curry recommended but added cardamom and chocolate chips as we didn't have shredded coconut. They're so good!
On the topic of cookies... How Oreos Work Like Cocaine.
Are you watching the new season of Homeland? I'm continually impressed by how the creators of this show make each character's point of view so very believable. And the acting!
Hurray for a new Wes Anderson film.

silly love songs
This song has been on repeat in my head for almost a week now, ever since I heard it playing at one of my local coffee shops. Here's to a love-filled Monday.

on getting older
I still get carded occasionally.
Two summers ago when we were in Michigan I ran out to the store to get lighter fluid and and a lighter for the bbq. I forgot to bring my ID and when I told this to the cashier, the teen asked me, in all seriousness, if I was over 18. "I'm over 30 if it makes a difference," I told him. "No way..." he said, again, in all seriousness. I paused to gauge if he was for real. "Way," I told him. As I walked out with my lighter fluid I felt at once imbued with a youthful glee (he thought I was 18!) and an adult apprehension (shit, do I look and dress like an 18-year-old?!).
Over the weekend I was buying beer and was again carded at the register. The woman ringing me up looked at my ID, looked up at me, looked back at my ID and said, "you look like you could be my age." Oh great, here we go I thought. "Oh really," I said pleasantly, "how old are you?" "I be 30," she said with a nod of her head. "Okay..." I replied. "That's cool..."
30, huh? Must be having a second kid. My age seems to be catching up with me.

I turn 35 in November. Gah! I think I'm going to make this ice cream cake to celebrate. Nothing says happy birthday like an ice cream cake, right?!
I'm seriously crushing on these Ali Golden bags. My friend Melissa has one and every time I see her I covet it...
Saying goodbye at preschool has been a challenge. I appreciated this Motherlode post on easing the transition and separation anxiety.
This adorable book is one of our favorites at the moment.
TED Talk 2012 Flashback: Chip Kidd. Designing books is no laughing matter. OK, it is.
Can't wait to go to this new Oakland beer hall.
Fall is in the air. The dusklight sweater.

broadchurch
I'm always on the lookout for good BBC dramas and last week I found Broadchurch. We blazed through the 8-episode series in less than a week. It's a beautifully executed murder mystery set in a small town on the coast of Britain. And I mean beautiful. Some of the visual sequences were absolutely stunning... Watch it for that reason alone.
