Yesterday I posted a list of things that were making me happy. It was fun (and an easy post—no point in lying), so I’m gonna keep doing it until life gets back to normal. {Who knows when that will be… Who even knows what normal is? Not me. I’m no prophet.}
Anyway, here you go.
More things I recommend this week:
1. Full House. I was emailed a link from this lady’s blog a few months ago.
It was a picture of her and her kids riding down the street on bikes. I saw it, and instantly thought, “This woman is from the greater Phoenix Metro area {as in Mesa, Queen Creek, Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, Phoenix}.” I did some snooping around the internet and made some connections because I’m smart—very Montessori, teaching myself to think like that. I discovered that she’s a sister of a husband of a friend, so that means we’re practically BFFs. Oh yeah, and she gave birth to one set of twins and one set of triplets, which means she’s living another one of my dream lives (getting multiple kids out of the way with one or two pregnancies, that is). Hi, Full House Lady! If you’re reading this, can we please be friends? *Awkward silence* Kay thanks. Bye.
Emily is awesome. Truly, awesome. You know how some people are good at copying good ideas, and other people are good at coming up with the stuff everyone else copies? Well, I’m a copycat. She’s one of the creators. To say that she paints and sews and sells all of her goodness on etsy™, well…that would be too flat to describe her work. It just doesn’t explain the three-dimensional nature of what she really does, which is this: molds entirely new {and deliciously unusual} worlds out of otherwise-ordinary stuff. Does that even make sense?

Her Oddfellows installment has made me want to fall asleep and land in one of her dream-worlds, like Alice in Wonderland. And then I want to stay there forever.
*By the way, it was years before I knew that Alice in Wonderland was actually Alice in Wonderland, as opposed to Allison Wonderland, which of course makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, but anyway.*

I’ve written about this glorious website before—once, when it crashed; and again, when it was revived. Well, it’s still up and running, and I love it as much as ever. (Even if they will never accept my food photography posts. I’m a loser. I thought the corn post was a shoe-in, but no—Tastespotting only accepts the best. I still love Tastespotting. My love for Tastespotting is unconditional.)
As usual, let me know if there’s anything you think I’m missing out on that would make my life just a little bit more complete.
I don’t withold from you, and I like to expect the same consideration.
