Robyn O'Brien - Patriotism on a Plate

Patriotism on a Plate was sent to me by my mom because like her, she knows I care about food, and the health of my family.  If you are moved by this piece and want to become more informed, I highly suggest you watch Food Inc, because it's so so so so sooooo eye opening.

Disclaimer: Unlike most of the videos I post on this platform, Patriotism on a Plate is one that I URGE you to watch.  It's not cute or crafty -  it's just really important.  So do yourself a favor and spend 15 minutes informing yourself about the ways in which we all need to create the change in the health of our families, our food system, and in the health of our country.

Friday Links

I promise I have a good reason for being slightly behind in posts this week.  This happened (illness) smack dab in the middle of this - so NOW we are more of less starting over (and I am so tired).  It's a sad state of affairs, but I just couldn't let a coughing, runny nose, baby cry herself to sleep - there was far too much snot. 

This time round, I will be stronger, have more of a gameplan, and actually let her cry it out (I think).  In the mean time, let's distract ourselves with some Friday Link Fun!  Hope you have a cozy weekend planned, don't you just love the change of seasons?!

Pinterest is creating some controversy - intersting article about ethics :)

This is up in our neighborhood and it's even better in person!

All I do is listen to this song - over and over and nothing makes me happier (seeing her at the Bowl for BZ's bday a few years back was such fun :).

Yes - or - No - cause I think we want this for our bedside tables.

WOW - this collection of street style is AMAZING (with shopping links to all individual pieces and everything). 

A 72 hour food tour of Los Angeles (brought to you by Oh Joy and a hungry belly :)

I wonder if this would help out wiggle worm stay on her back while being changed.

Forgive me if I have already shared this and this with you, but I can't wait to order them for myself (thinking holiday gifts).

WEBLOG: Inspire Me Now!

You may not have noticed, but I link to Inspire Me Now kinda often.  It's quirky, original, and regularly gives me a good laugh (I am always looking to increase laughter in my life).  What I like most (other than the smart content) is the simplicity, it's always just an image or two and the link (easy, breezy, beautiful, cover girl :).  Below is a collection of recent posts that I have enjoyed (as always, imagines link up to the original posts for easy browsing).  Thank you Szymon and keep up the great work!

Please Be A Nice Baby

Over these last few weeks HML has been little miss social.  Seeing her interact with her peers, is hilarious and is quickly rising to the top of my favorite things list.  I am often surprised by her curiosity and always entertained by her enthusiasm.  She pokes, pulls, screams, giggles, and then proceeds to try and eat their face - all signs of a true lady :) 

Lila Was Here

I love the concept (in general) but this execution is just beyond (it helps that Lila's mom is a super talented professional photographer) but what a wonderful way to document a childhood, don't you think?  So beautiful and full of life, it's hard to pick a favorite photo!
