A friend from high school made the girls these dresses, and I am so in love.  I think she can do anything!  Here is her shop.

I have this on repeat - I love, love, love this music as I write, work or really while do anything at all.

Did you see that Brass came out with a shift dress?

My sister sent me this except from Pope Francis' The Joy of Love and it couldn't be more beautiful:

With great affection I urge all future mothers: keep happy and let nothing rob you of the interior joy of motherhood.  Your child deserves your happiness.  Don’t let fears, worries, other people’s comments or problems lessen your joy at being God’s means of bringing a new life to the world.  Prepare yourself for the birth of your child, but without obsessing, and join in Mary’s song of joy: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord and my spirit exults in God my Saviour, for he has looked with favour on the lowliness of his servant” (Lk 1:46-48).  Try to experience this serene excitement amid all your many concerns, and ask the Lord to preserve your joy, so that you can pass it on to your child.

Have you wondered what do to about Target?  Me too.  Here is a beautiful response.

I really think this is a neat concept in reading aloud to your children.  I need to do it more!

I'm always late to the party, but this is on the reading list now.

If this is anything like their other studies, it will be amazing.

My mom bought me one of these plants, and I love it!  Let's pray I can keep it alive.  I want some of these as well.

Lastly, have you ever tried this candy?  It's one of my favorites!
