My Latest Obsessions

Cate and the Oscar Meier Wienermobile

Happy Friday! The above picture cracks me up. Cate and I were spending some mom/daughter time together and running errands and the like last Saturday and low and behold we looked over and saw the iconic Oscar Meier Wienermobile. WE HAD TO STOP AND TAKE A PIC! Come on now, how often does one see the Wienermobile?! Cate was definitely amused by the large "hot dog" on wheels and it got me wondering how long the mobile had been around. How fun, this wienermobile crashed a wedding last year! Too funny. And how do you become an official "hotdogger" driver?! 

Happy Earth Week! I have to confess I'm not the most green person out there. While I do my best to recycle and the like I LOVE me some zip lock bags. We tried out some reusable pouches this week to use in lieu of zip lock bags (for CMC's lunch). While they are reusable and super cute (btw!) I think I'm going to be using zip lock bags for awhile longer (mostly because CMC kept leaving them at school - defeating the whole purpose of REUSING them the next day!). Baby steps! 

We have a casual fundraiser tonight for C + M's school and then tomorrow PFC's sisters/I are taking out his Mom for a GIRLS dinner to celebrate her upcoming bday. 

Some of my latest faves: 

• Some breakfast items - reinvented - by the lovely Gwenyth Paltrow's Dr. Frank Lipman. 
• Lovely resources for some business cards and stationery. Again, while I LOVE all things techilicious, I'm still a huge paper girl at heart. There is something to be said for a beautiful card that is tangible. I'll always be tactile and by nature I'm a visual learner. It took me FOREVER to switch from a paper calendar to an online calendar! 
• LOVE these rolling storage crates. LOVE LOVE LOVE. 
• Mother's Day is around the corner. Speaking of Mother's Day, P&G's "Thank you, Mom" campaign is pretty amazing (and touching). LOVE IT. Really love the soundtrack too! The gals and GMC's 4 grandmothers are getting these really cute and fun brag books by Pinhole Press. We filled them w/ pics from Easter weekend. 
• I have yet to hit up the Dose Market, but if I go I'm going to take some advice from this post on 6 Things you Must Try at Dose Market. Hmmm, the next one is on Mother's Day - maybe I'll put that request on my list of things TO DO that day! 
• What GORGEOUS clothes for your little ones = Odile. Their 1st annual spring flea market sale = April 28 - 29th. What a chic little trench coat! 
• Last Saturday evening PFC/I came home to some YUMMY banana cake balls (made by the sitter and the kiddos). Ummm, they were DELICIOUS (and the sitter said they were SUPER EASY)! They have been a hit with everyone all week long. Yummy! And btw, our dinner that evening at Balena Chicago was FAB. Loved everything. We will be back! Highly recommend it. 
• I totally dig my gold metallic TOMS. How fun is this TOMS shoe makeover?! Very creative and clever.
• Kate Spade + Malia Mills = adorable swim collection.  

Have a FAB weekend! It is supposed to be rainy and chilly here. Maybe I'll catch a moment to start my next book = The Man in the Rockefeller Suit by Mark Seal. Maybe not though. I'm calling these days the "George" factor! He is all over the place! His latest fave word = "YES." It is TOO CUTE. The girls will sit there and ask him a million questions to see what he says YES and NO to = pretty entertaining!
