\"Walking<\/a>

(Rhys’ first day of school.)<\/p><\/div>\n

This week was shorter and sweeter, too, as we’ve settled into a new routine.\u00a0 Rhys started his last year of preschool, so I have two children in two different schools at the moment.\u00a0 They are growing up so fast and I’ve finally realized that I am no longer a mom to babies, but to growing boys.\u00a0 I like the structure of the school year and I’m looking forward to some volunteer time at James’ school soon.\u00a0 Here are a few things that caught my eye this week.<\/p>\n

A preview of Downton Abbey<\/em>‘s fifth season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A funny new web series<\/a> poking fun at dating in NYC, which also happens to feature ethical and sustainable clothing.<\/p>\n

Why this college student<\/a> carries a mattress everywhere she goes.<\/p>\n

A new play about the murders in Ju\u00e1rez, Mexico<\/a> opens in New York soon.<\/p>\n

I watched After Tiller<\/a><\/em> on PBS this week, and it’s a powerful story about doctors risking their lives to help women in this country.\u00a0 It’s streaming on the PBS site for the rest of the month and I encourage you to watch it, too.<\/p>\n

How abortion laws are affecting Texas women<\/a>.\u00a0 Hopefully things will change after the November elections.<\/p>\n

We have a restful weekend planned and I wish you a great weekend, too!<\/p>\n
