This and That

(New perfume for Mother’s Day.)

This week, we visited with friends and enjoyed the final days before school is out for summer.  I can’t believe another year has come and gone, and Tuesday marks the boys’ last day!  We’re planning to visit with family and enjoy the three day weekend, after tonight’s brew session, of course.  Here are a few things that caught my attention this week.

I enjoy this blog on Kate Middleton’s style, and this article about the necessity of maternity clothes interested me.  I couldn’t have gone without them.

And speaking of royalty, Helen Mirren took it upon herself to grant a dying boy’s wish when the Queen could not.

This article on clothing factories in Bangladesh was re-tweeted this week.

I’ll never climb a mountain, but I truly admire people who do, and this man, at the age of 80, is no exception.

An interesting post about the misconceptions parents hold about non-parents.

“Call the Midwife” has been renewed for a third season, and I am thrilled.  The second season ended last week and left me in a puddle of tears.  I’m currently making my way through the first of Jennifer Worth’s memoirs (the basis for the show), and hope to share them with you soon.

Have a wonderful weekend!
