Friday is here and it just won't stop raining...

This week has been pretty gross.  Both girls are sick and snot is everywhere and Kaia doesn't seem to understand that you blow your nose IN a tissue - not ON one's sleeve.  I am grateful that she uses her sleeve and not the back of her hand but really?  A sleeve.  Ew.  Ew.  and Ew.  Top that off with a week (possibly two or three weeks) worth of rain.  I can't even remember now when we had a day that wasn't wet.

So, to get me through this week, I've been turning to my Google Reader for a little cheer.  Here are some of my favorite blog posts from the week.  Enjoy!

Look at what I found!  An oh, so wonderful blog, So September.  Just what I was looking for (well, not really - I have too many projects going to start dreaming about more).  But when I need a new project, I think I want to try something just like this.  Pretty cute, huh?

I've been following this fabulous blog, Rockstar Diaries just for the images.  I'm mesmerized.  The photographer has such a great eye for the things in her world.  Her images are funny and creative and sweet.

We've been won over by maple syrup.  Nothing else will do.  Here's a recipe from the blog Nourished Kitchen that incorporates seasonal veggies and maple syrup.  Yum.  I love this blog because everything the writer makes is nourishing.  Great recipes to raise a family on.

And then of course, a few favorite etsy finds:

This Japanese artist crafts all of her items from hand.  Sweet, lovely, thoughtful. 

I think I'm going to buy one of these little egg babies for Elliot's birthday. 

And just for something totally unique and funky, check these accessories out.  Cool.

Have a great Friday - I hope you are healthy and can see the sun.
