Mom and I went and saw this a few months ago. Part celebration of eccentric choices and part sappy love story. Wholly wonderful.
God bless food bloggers. This cracked me up.
My new favorite author Mary Karr is the only one who's come close to matching Marilynn Robinson's commitment to poetic novels. Just be forewarned that it might ruin all future reading for you. In this novel alone she thew out 1000 pages before sending it to her editor and was FOUR YEARS behind on her deadline. She writes with such raw honesty and every word is beautifully crafted. Apparently I started at the end of the trilogy but I like to live on the edge.
I'm on day three of the fodmaps elimination diet to try and see if certain foods are contributing to the pain I've had. SK's granola bars have been my go to breakfast/snack/dessert. I start with this recipe but I currently can't have dried fruit so I add extra peanut or almond butter, almonds, coconut, pecans, and peanuts to my mix. I cut them into squares and they keep forever (and less crumbly) in the fridge.
If you haven't yet you need to get on the Trampled By Turtles train. B and I spent our anniversary date at their concert and had almost as much fun people watching as we did dancing to the music. A special shout out to the guy in dreadlocks with a backwards Packers hat, a PBR in each hand and a baby strapped to his chest. You are living the dream. Their stars and satellites album is our favorite and makes for the best beach road trip soundtrack.
Honorable Mentions
If your still shopping at Target this is my new favorite find. Every month they put out a box of fun samples to try. They sell out FAST but if you get there on the first day of the month you can usually score one. My last one included OPI nail polish, a full size lipstick, nail polish remover pads, dry shampoo, and Olay wrinkle cream for 6$. It comes in the cutest black box and if you have a red card it's 5% off and ships free. Because sometimes its the little things in life.
And a couple for the kiddos
Happy inspiration hunting!
