(My plant loves that window.)<\/p><\/div>\n

This week, both boys were in school full-time and we went back to our regular fall schedule. I forgot how much busier we are (and how tired I am by evening), but everyone is adjusting really well and having a wonderful time. I’m really looking forward to the three-day weekend, and I hope to catch up on sleep, Netflix, and maybe some Chinese food. In the meantime, here are a few things that caught my eye.<\/p>\n

A quick reminder about the Ethical Writers Coalition Second Hand Challenge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A gorgeous British farmhouse<\/a> that shows how to stylishly reuse and refurbish old pieces.<\/p>\n

An Apartment Therapy<\/em> post<\/a> with terrible advice about decluttering, but the comments are filled with awesome suggestions.<\/p>\n

And making a case for clutter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Werewolves appear in times of scarcity and fear<\/a>. An interesting read.<\/p>\n

A new study<\/a> links the gender biases of elementary school teachers to the way students perform in upper grades.<\/p>\n

The hidden expenses of going to college<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And some thoughts on Marissa Mayer’s maternity leave<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n
