A Royal Baby & Some Friday Links

December 7, 2012

By now you’ve surely heard the exciting news from across the pond: The Duchess of Cambridge is pregnant! Twitter exploded with chatter about the #royalbaby when the story broke. Poor Kate, outed by morning sickness!

As happy as I am for Kate (well, as happy as one can be for a stranger), I’m not sure I’m all that interested in listening to royal baby babble for the next six months. What does interest me, though, are these photographs of royal babies through the years, from Queen Elizabeth II to Princes William and Harry. I’m a sucker for old photos.

What exciting activities do you have planned for the weekend? After two days of feeling inexplicably blue, I’ll be spending some time with my goLITE, which I’ve used a couple of times last year but probably not consistently enough for it to really work. Has anybody had a positive experience with light therapy?

Here are a few things that captured my attention this week:

Proof that pale really is beautiful, especially in the winter. (Putting “Buy argan oil-infused pressed powder” on my to-do list right now.)

My 97-year-old grandma grew up in Coney Island. Isn’t that neat? This book by photographer Harold Feinstein (no relation!) captures the spirit of the beach and boardwalk in the 50s. (See, I love old photographs!)

Good advice for bloggers and designers alike from Jen Serafini.

Sarah from Note from Self knocked it out of the park with her Holiday Gift Guide for Kids. 

And a kitchen gift guide for all you insert name of popular chef-types out there!

Paper or electronic? What type of calendar do you use? I just can’t make up my mind, but these lovely 2013 paper calendars are pulling me in a certain direction…

And in case you missed it…

Which New Year card is your favorite?

Enter to win a knit rattle from our friends at blabla!

How do you display holiday cards?

Day 12 | No photos from today (well none worth sharing) because I sat in front of my laptop from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. working on deadline. My busy work day also meant that my kids didnt get very much of my attention. My husband kept them occupied for some of the day but I dont think they got any schoolwork done. Oh well we all deserve a lazy day every once in a while. I know I do! | So whats this photo? Just some of the amazing birthday presents I received from my friends this weekend! (Dont worrDay 11 | Emotions have been running high the past two days and everyone has a short fuse. Asa had a full-on temper tantrum because he didnt want to color his drawing of a rainbow and nearly lost his cool while practicing Typing Club. I wish I could do more educational activities with them like taking alphabet walks and tallying up different items around the house but Im totally overwhelmed with a huge deadline this week. In fact I had to keep working after the kids went to bed and now its nearlyC-Quarantine Day 8 | Ive felt anxious many days this past week but today was the first day I had the blues. Not sad about anything specific. Just ... sad. Cabin fever? Exhaustion? We decided to get out of the house to look at the cherry blossoms in Bethesda. The Kenwood neighborhood was quiet so we parked and walked down a side street keeping our distance from the few other people out and about. But with cars parked on one side of the road and moving cars to trying to pass them & the pedestriansOn the first day of #socialdistancing my true love made for me Nutella-filled croissantsyummy!  On the second day of social distancing my true love made for me banana muffins with a crumb topping.  On the third day... Nope. Tomorrow we work from home/homeschool our kids so its cereal for everyone!  #onedaycv #covidquarantine
