...this photo. Grumpy Gus made an appearance again. Here she was last year and the year before that. Will I ever get a picture of my child smiling on Santa's knee?

...this non traditional holiday playlist from Design Editor. Totally suits the mood I'm in these days.



...this giveaway of Alanna Cavanagh's work on Tim's blog. This brogue shoe print would look great in a boy's room.

...Chassity's commentary and that of her readers on this post. It made me look at my Instagram feed and think about how often I think about "likes", comments, and the many other ways we validate ourselves in this blogging world. Thought provoking!


...Paula's tour of the Christmas decorations around her house. Don't you love all the peeks into people's houses at this time of year? I'll share more of mine next week.



... this pin. Anyone know the original source? We're working on the basement bathroom this weekend so I'm on the hunt for inspiration.

Have a good weekend!
