After spending the past three weekends either visiting or hosting family, I’m looking forward to a couple of quiet days at home. Besides trying to catch up on life, laundry, and our DVR list, we don’t have much else planned. JB promised to tackle a small painting project, and we have tickets to see the Omaha Community Playhouse‘s production of Les Miserables. I confess I’m a bit wary of a community theater tackling such an ambitious musical, but the show got a near-perfect review in the local paper. Encouraging!
Hope you have a fun and relaxing weekend! Here are 10 Friday links for you to explore…
Cozy throw blankets are synonymous with fall, but I like to cuddle up with one on the couch all year long. Thinking of replacing my well-worn throw with this super soft version from West Elm.(On sale now!)

I usually rely on my husband’s knowledge of wine when it comes to picking a red that will complement my meal (before I was pregnant, of course.) Honestly, I don’t know the difference between a Malbec and a Pinot Noir. When I can drink red wine again, I’ll be referring to this red wine flow chart on Cupcakes and Cashmere to help me make more informed decisions.
A clever way to transport cupcakes from Donuts, Dresses and Dirt: a DIY shirt box carrier.
We’re addicted to Homeland, are you? We binge-watched the first two seasons before the premiere of season three, and neither JB nor I thought season two was as awful as we had been warned. Season three is off to a slow start, though, and one major reason is Dana’s story. The Daily Mail explores all the Dana hate.
Like Tristan from Besotted, I try to stay away from anti-aging creams and serums made from chemicals while I’m pregnant. Still, I’m paranoid about wrinkles and fine lines, so I might have to try the Argan Infinity Cream she recommends.
Thanks PJ – so flattered to be included in this week’s links – what a great round up! xo
